Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu says Donald Trump’s meeting with Kanye West and known antisemite Nick Fuentes was “a mistake.”

“Trump’s decision to dine with [them] I think is wrong and misplaced. I think it’s a mistake,” he tells Common Sense. “He shouldn’t do that.”

But Netanyahu stresses that Trump “has been a tremendous supporter of Israel, and I’m unabashedly appreciative of what he did for Israel.

“I think he made a mistake. I hope it’s not repeated.”
