Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports of a rift with U.S. President Donald Trump following Israel's exclusion from Trump's recent Middle East trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

At a press conference, Netanyahu said he spoke with Trump about ten days ago and quoted him as saying, "Bibi, I want you to know I have a complete commitment to you and I have a complete commitment to the state of Israel." Netanyahu also cited a conversation with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who told him not to pay attention to 'fake news' about a rupture between the two countries.

The speculation arose after Trump ended the U.S. bombing campaign in Yemen and began nuclear negotiations with Iran without Israeli involvement. Media reports and U.S. officials have described frustration among Trump advisers over Netanyahu's approach to Middle East crises, with one source calling Netanyahu "the most difficult person to work with." Some advisers have questioned the value of prioritizing Israel.

Trump has urged Israel to end the war in Gaza quickly and has spoken about the suffering of civilians amid an 11-week Israeli aid blockade. Despite these developments, U.S. officials have not described the situation as a complete breakdown in relations.
