Right-wing talking head Ann Coulter questioned why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t stand up for President Trump after the president’s prime-time address from the Oval Office, in which he tried to convince Congress to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“CNN’s John King wants to know why GOP governors aren’t rushing onto TV to support Trump. I want to know why Netanyahu isn’t,” she tweeted Tuesday night.

A report from the research firm Twiplomacy found in July that Netanyahu’s most retweeted tweet of all time was one that praised Trump’s wall plan.
President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea ????

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
