President Donald Trump has openly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while trying to finalize a peace deal with Iran to end the ongoing conflict. These comments contrast with their previously close relationship and reflect tensions over Israeli actions in Lebanon that could affect the U.S.-Iran negotiations.
Key Facts
Netanyahu once called Trump the "greatest friend Israel ever had in the White House."
Trump now criticizes Netanyahu publicly, calling some of his decisions "crazy" and blaming him for recent tensions.
Trump claims Israel's existence depends on U.S. support and his own actions as president.
The conflict increased after Israeli attacks in Lebanon, which Trump says could disrupt the peace talks with Iran.
Trump is pushing the deal partly because the war is unpopular in the U.S. and has raised gas prices.
An agreement between the U.S. and Iran is expected to be signed soon in Geneva.
Some conservative groups see Trump's criticism as a normal family-like disagreement, while left-leaning groups find it offensive.
Previous U.S. leaders, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, have criticized Netanyahu but more cautiously to avoid accusations of being anti-Israel.

Some Americans who recently received Canadian citizenship certificates through a new law are being asked to return their certificates while their cases are reviewed. Canada’s immigration ministry says this review affects only a small number of cases and those impacted can provide more proof to keep their citizenship.
Key Facts
The Canadian government passed a law in December to help some people with Canadian ancestry claim citizenship.
Some Americans who got citizenship certificates under this law are being asked to surrender these documents.
