Israel's Netanyahu removes Trump from his Twitter banner photo

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu dropped U.S. President Donald Trump from the banner photo of his Twitter account on Tuesday in an apparent break with a political ally facing possible impeachment.

 

A photo of Netanyahu sitting next to Trump at a White House meeting had long taken pride of place on the official @netanyahu account, testimony to the conservative Israeli leader's close ties with the Republican president and his popularity in Israel.

 

Early on Tuesday, another photo, showing Netanyahu being injected with the coronavirus vaccine, topped the page, along with the slogan for Israel's inoculation campaign: "Citizens of Israel, we are returning to life".

 

Netanyahu had kept the photo of his meeting with Trump, long in lockstep with him over a tough policy towards Iran and the Palestinians, on the site even after the Republican president's defeat by Democrat Joe Biden in the U.S. election in November.

 

The photo was briefly replaced with a Hanukkah holiday-themed image last month, raising media speculation that Netanyahu had decided to distance himself from Trump.

 

But when the eight-day Jewish festival was over, Trump reappeared - although no longer alone with Netanyahu in a photo.

 

Instead, Netanyahu posted a banner image of himself with the president and the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signing an agreement at the White House in September on formalising ties with Israel.

 

No explanation was given on Netanyahu's site for Trump's disappearance, a day before the U.S. House of Representatives was expected to begin considering his second impeachment on after last week's storming of the Capitol.

 

Trump's own account was permanently suspended by Twitter on Friday due to what the social media giant described as the risk of further incitement to violence.

 

In televised remarks on Thursday, Netanyahu called the events at the Capitol a "rampage" and said he was certain American democracy would prevail.

Two despicable men, a curse on both of you!

Trump will soon realize that all these people who were "with him" all these years only did so for their own personal benefit.  When Trump becomes a failed ex-president without the power of the Presidency, he will have very few friends anywhere in the world.

He has people that will show him a picture of the picture not being there (no reading). 

 

What a pity that all those despicable politicians, that supported Trump throughout his presidency, now use this for their own publicity, as if they think everyone in the world is an idiot, and doesn't remember how they licked his a**e just a few months ago.

 

Just saw a video of Arnold Schwarzenegger, condemning Trump and the Capitol Hill siege.

 

In the video he compares it with Kristallnacht, and how he as Austrian is so aware of what happened that night,  though he was born only 10 years after it happened.

I was talking mostly about world leaders and to a certain extent, US congressional leaders.  But you're right, these Trump supporters who fell for his BS....they were used and got nothing.

Nope.  Both evil.  The relatives of the 350,000 dead Americans agree.
