From Trump Criticism to Praise, Israel’s Right Wing Rewrites the Script Overnight

Over the course of one night, several Israeli media figures moved from mocking U.S. President Donald Trump to treating him as a partner in Israel’s victory over Iran. The article says that in the evening, on Gad Oko’s 7:15 p.m. show, Amit Segal told Ben Caspit that “being friends with the Americans is an disaster,” while stressing that Israel’s military campaign, called “With a Lion,” had stopped Iran’s nuclear program a week before a bomb was reached, and that “Lion’s Roar” had produced major gains. Caspit pushed back, noting that Segal himself had previously repeated Benjamin Netanyahu’s war goals, including regime change in Tehran and ending Iran’s nuclear, ballistic missile and proxy programs.
