Summary
Hillary Clinton said on "Morning Joe" that she hates the governments and policies of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, while saying she still loves America and Israel.
Clinton tied her criticism of Netanyahu to a Haaretz report that UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed warned him 10 days before the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack; Netanyahu's office called that report false.
She said that if Israelis return Netanyahu to power, Washington should take a very tough position, and argued the U.S. could work with a new Israeli government instead.
Clinton also called for a future Israeli leader to crack down on West Bank settler violence, saying impunity harms Palestinians and endangers Israeli society more broadly.
A White House official pushed back by stressing Trump's close relationship with Netanyahu and citing Israel's role in Operation Epic Fury, which it said weakened Iran's military in 38 days.
