Will Trump suggest publicly by 6/21 that Netanyahu needs to go? Seems like their War-mance is over.

President Donald Trump declined to call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's removal in the days leading up to June 21, 2026, instead issuing a conditional and notably restrained signal that he would likely support the Israeli leader in forthcoming Israeli elections. "I'll have to look at who's running, but I like Bibi very much. I would be most likely to endorse him," Trump told reporters, stopping short of a firm commitment and adding, "I need to see who is running."
Trump did express friction with Netanyahu's military conduct in Lebanon, saying he needed to adopt a "softer touch" and questioning the need to level buildings over individual Hezbollah operatives. Reports citing U.S. officials indicated Trump had used blunt language about Netanyahu in a private call, though Trump later described the working relationship as "very good" and referred to Netanyahu as a "warrior PM."
The public posture amounted to a hedged warning rather than any push for leadership change. Trump's criticism was directed at tactics, not at Netanyahu's political survival, and Paramount-level pressure to remove the Israeli leader was absent from any official U.S. statement.
The community largely anticipated this outcome, with 83 percent voting no.
