About this episode

The episode discusses the complex relationship between Trump and Netanyahu amidst recent tensions over the war in Iran.

This week Axios reported that Trump lashed out at Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Iran. Despite speculation, this was later verified by Trump – what does this clash tell us about their relationship? Bibi and Trump have known each other for over 40 years and share many things in common. But their differences over political interests has led to a fractured relationship. Freddy Gray speaks to the journalist Anshel Pfeffer about their history.
