Donald Trump has shared inflammatory video content calling Benjamin Netanyahu a “deep, dark son of a bitch” just weeks after the Israeli leader claimed the two had a “very friendly, warm” discussion about hostage negotiations and Syria policy.

The president-elect posted the clip to Truth Social featuring economist Jeffrey Sachs, who accuses Netanyahu of manipulating US foreign policy and orchestrating “endless wars” in the Middle East.

In the video, Sachs – talking at a Cambridge Union event – claims Netanyahu has pursued a systematic strategy since 1995 to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah by targeting their supporting governments in Iraq, Iran and Syria.

“[Netanyahu’s] gotten us into endless wars and because of the power of all of this in US politics, he’s gotten his way,” Sachs says in the interview, referring to the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups.

Trump’s aim in promoting the video was not immediately clear.

The president-elect has a history of re-posting clips and images that criticize establishment policies in Washington, but the repost comes amid intensive diplomatic efforts by Egypt, Qatar and the current US administration to broker a truce deal that would include hostage releases.

Trump’s decision to amplify Sachs’s comments also comes as he assembles what Israeli settlers are dubbing a “dream team” of hardline supporters of the state.

During Trump’s first term, he delivered significant diplomatic wins for Netanyahu, including recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019 and supporting the Abraham accords with Gulf states. This past summer, Trump hosted Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago during the prime minister’s US trip.

But when Trump lost the 2020 elections, he blasted Netanyahu for congratulating Biden, telling an Axios reporter: “I haven’t spoken to [the Israeli leader] since. F#ck him.”

The Israeli government did not immediately respond to the repost.

Sachs told the Guardian that while he was not advising Trump, he hoped it signaled a shift in US foreign policy.

“I do not know Trump’s disposition on these issues, but I do very much hope that he frees US foreign policy from the grip of the cruel, ineffective, illegal and destructive policies of Netanyahu,” he said.

If this was an African president, you will call him an Agbero, but since he's an American, you find this amusing

I'm glad Trump is now the President, at least, all those useless references to "a saner clime" will die down

See how uncivil a president can be

So you want to tell me that the sreali PM and the Comedian in Ukraine is not engaging USA in an endless war?

It's a good thing the LA incident occurred so that they can focus on home and not funding unnecessary wars. Biden supplies Weapons to Isreali in the daytime and ask for ceasefire for the victims of their weapons to receive aids.

Una never see craze wait until Trump gets on the throne that is when you all will witness craze. 🤣

A saner clime won't seize to be a saner clime cos your people won't still stop flooding the embassy, giving testimonies in their churches when they receive an invite to travel there.

The person who is supposed to be in prison. Democracy in the mud.

Who would fall for this when the incoming clown will still continue sending bombs and war machines to the maniac in Israel just like the demented one in power is currently doing?

You are right, Just like some Folks in Nigeria claimed that Mr.Tinubu is working, even when it is obvious that Tinubu is a serial failure

A lot of predictions about him ending up like JF Kennedy. Lol.....make e no do too much gragra. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Americans are the most brainwashed citizens on earth.

If they could just wake up, the Israel-Palestinian war will come to an end overnight. Once they realize that Israel is not at war but that the US is fighting a proxy war using Israel and they're the ones paying for it, the war will come to an end.
