US media: Trump and Netanyahu's differences widen, US-Israel relations show cracks.

On July 5, The New York Times reported that as the U.S. reaches an understanding with Iran and the Trump administration adjusts its Middle East policy, differences between U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are increasingly widening, and the U.S.-Israel relationship is at a critical turning point.

The report stated that Trump has allegedly privately criticized Netanyahu for military escalation in Lebanon, saying, "Everyone hates you now." U.S. Vice President Vance also recently publicly stated that Israel "cannot solve all its national security problems by constantly waging war" and emphasized that U.S. and Israeli interests are not always aligned.

The U.S. government's recent public criticism of the Israeli government has sparked discontent among conservative factions and pro-Netanyahu camps in Israel. A latest poll shows that after the U.S. signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran, Trump's approval rating among Israeli citizens has noticeably declined.

The article argues that Israel's long-standing security strategy of relying on military force to achieve "total victory" is facing increasing skepticism. Against the backdrop of ongoing war and growing international isolation, Israel will have to reassess its security strategy and foreign policy, regardless of who is in power in the future.
