US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's friendship has become one of the most consequential partnerships in modern Middle Eastern history.
When the US bombed Iran's underground nuclear enrichment facilities last week, the world saw a military escalation. But beneath the smoke and flash was a political alliance decades in the making, with roots in a shared vision of power.
US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's friendship has become one of the most consequential partnerships in modern Middle Eastern history.
"We worked as a team. Like perhaps no team has ever worked before," Trump said Saturday, addressing the nation for the first time since the US joined Israel's campaign against Iran.
A senior White House official confirmed Trump spoke with Netanyahu "almost every day" since Israel launched its initial strike, and that Trump gave Netanyahu a heads-up about the US strike, even when his own Congress didn't know.
Both men rose to prominence in overlapping eras, often mirroring each other's rhetoric. They had always been friends but their alliance deepened five years ago.
