In strong contrast to what his relationship with Bibi has been during his tenure as President, Trump told Ravid, “Bibi did not want to make a deal. Even most recently, when we came up with the maps, Netanyahu said, ‘this is good, good,’ everything was always great, but he did not want to make a deal. I wish he would have said he didn’t want to make a deal because a lot of people devoted a lot of work. But I don’t think Bibi would’ve ever made a deal. I don’t know if he didn’t want to make it for political reasons, or for other reasons…. . But I don’t think Bibi would have ever made a deal. That’s my opinion. I think the general [Gantz] wanted to make a deal.”
Praising Gantz, on the other hand, Trump said, Benny Gantz. I really like him a lot. I thought he was great. He came to the White House. He was somebody that, in my opinion, it would have been much easier to make a deal with the Palestinians than with Netanyahu. The Palestinians hate Netanyahu. They hate him with a passion. They didn’t hate Gantz. I liked [Gantz]. I thought he was a really impressive guy. He loves Israel…I liked the general a lot. In fact, I said to Jared [Kushner] and David [Friedman], that if he won, I think it would be a lot easier.”
