The relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Trump administration has shifted from close alliance to public friction, particularly over military actions and ceasefire terms.
Netanyahu's decision to strike Beirut hours before an agreement with Iran drew Trump's ire, and their differing goals in the conflict have put them at odds.
While Netanyahu once called Trump the 'greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House,' recent events have led to public humiliations and strained ties.
The discord has implications for Middle East ceasefire efforts and US-Israel relations.
