President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu
Axios: Trump asked Netanyahu if he genuinely cares about peace
In a phone call last year with Bibi Netanyahu, President Trump said something that shocked some of the people who helped prepare his briefing materials for the conversations. According to three sources familiar with the call, Trump asked Bibi bluntly if he actually cares about peace or not.
The details: Trump was pressing Bibi on the importance of striking a "deal" for Mideast peace. He'd read news reports about Bibi planning to build additional settlements to please his conservative base in Israel. Trump thought Bibi was unnecessarily angering the Palestinians. So, in the course of a longer conversation that was mostly friendly and complimentary, he bluntly asked Bibi whether or not he genuinely wants peace.

'Bibi'? Is that childish nickname the name his mother gave him? Nope. That's 'Benjamin'.
'Bibi' is used here because Axios is typical of US media, slavishly sucking up to Israeli power brokers. Netanyahu's cute! He's our friend! He's 'Bibi'!
Israel runs US foreign policy. Only the US doesn't understand this.
Dear anon
I have heard many Israelis refer casually to Bibi rather than using his full name, much as I often hear Americans refer to FDR...your real issue tucked in here is your dislike of Israel, which you believe runs foreign policy. If that were true instead of your silly accusation, America would not have agreed to the Iran nuke treaty, which Bibi adamently opposed.
It's probably the same anti semitic anon from:

Should be banned.
In this case, I must agree 100% with Fred.:-) The Iran nuke deal is but one example of which many more could easily be cited.
Was there ever a leader of any nation when if asked would say NO. I PREFER war to peace?
I don't think Trump is the one to preach about peace to someone...
