Shame! Trump Didn't Coordinate with Netanyahu | JPost - Xmas Eve | Up until last week, there were many people in the United States and Israel who thought that President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn't make a move without prior coordination. The moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem, the American decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and the defunding of UNRWA, all gave a feeling that Israel and the US were in-step like never before. Daylight? Not between Netanyahu and Trump. Gen. Mike Flynn, Jared Kushner, second from left, with his wife, Ivanka Trump, and Stephen K. Bannon, the president's chief adviser, at the White House. Only Trump's family is left standing in role as advisor. But then came Trump's surprise decision last week to withdraw US military forces from Syria. For the first time in his two years in office, it seemed that not all was perfect in the US-Israel alliance. What particularly irked Israel was that Trump reportedly made the decision to pull out his military forces after speaking earlier this month with Erdogan. This was the same Erdogan who on Saturday, said that Muslims would teach Israelis a lesson for beating Palestinian women and children even after they fall on the ground. Erdogan - the occupier of northern Cyprus, whose army massacres women and children in Kurdish villages, inside and outside Turkey - should not preach to Israel.— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) December 22, 2018
