What does Trump's Truth Social post after gas field attacks tell us about US-Israeli alignment?
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly diverged over Israel's attack on Iran's South Pars gas field, highlighting differing strategic priorities in the ongoing war against Iran.
Biographer Michael Wolff suggests that Trump's criticism of Israel's attack on Iran's gas field was influenced by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, due to business interests in the region.
