Donald Trump said Israel “should get their act together” after Benjamin Netanyahu was forced to concede, seven weeks after proclaiming his fifth election victory, having failed to form a government.
Speaking to journalists in the White House the US President said: “Israel is all messed up with their election — I mean that came out of the blue three days ago. So that’s all messed up. They ought to get their act together.
He was responding to questions about comments made by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about the prospects of the administration’s plan for Middle East peace.
Trump said: “I mean, Bibi [Netanyahu] got elected, now all of a sudden they’re going to have to go through the process again until September. That’s ridiculous. So we’re not happy about that.”
