“I think Trump looks at Netanyahu and sees a loser because he has not managed to accomplish not a single goal he’s set out to do.
And if there’s one thing Trump doesn’t like, it’s losers around him,” Goldberg told Al Jazeera.

“Trump has made it clear he’s operating at a distance from Netanyahu, and I believe that is enough pressure for Netanyahu to ultimately buckle.”
Growing boycotts of Israeli scholars and by investors as well as talk of potential sporting bans have begun to hit home with the public, he added.

“I think now Israelis are starting to understand that this is actually happening — and so is Benjamin Netanyahu.”
