Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Wednesday that Israeli officials "played" President Donald Trump in their conversations with him, warning that a "healthy amount of skepticism" is needed in dealings with Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The comments came during a panel discussion at Harvard University in which Tillerson, who was fired by the president last year, touched on a variety of themes from his tenure, including Iran, his hiring freeze at the State Department and the unpredictable nature of Israel's longest-serving prime minister, Netanyahu.
Benny Gantz, who leads the Blue and White Party, said he's open to a coalition government but not a power-sharing agreement with Netanyahu. Tillerson said Wednesday that he supported during his tenure a two-state solution to the long-running conflict between Israel and Palestine, a plan that would put him"I did believe that we were at a moment in time where perhaps we could chart a way where the Arab world could support an outcome that the Palestinians might not think was perfect — and in the past, if it wasn’t perfect, it didn’t happen — but with enough encouragement, pressure from the Arab world, that we could get it close...
Just a bit.😉
'A bit' Machiavellian. But Netanyahu is certainly not the only one who knows or knew how to 'play' Trump.
Duh
matbo2 A two-bit Machiavelli more like it.
“A bit” is an understatement
'____________(insert name of country) played Trump'
My puppy could play Trump with a lick
OF COURSE BIBI IS A CROOK. HE WILL BE INDICTED WITH CORRUPT CHARGES ONCE HE LEAVES OFFICE - REMIND YOU OF ANYONE?
Nailed it
theProgSoapbox This is true. Netanyahu came to America and sweared that Iraq had WMD in front of Congress. He is the problem not the solution.

No.His Supreme Assholiness has been attempting to do 'deals'. An enabled malignant narcissist sociopath accused rapist asspuppet racist has been doing 'deals' with real dictators.What the fuck did people think would happen.....
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Obviously the Israeli authorities tricked Mr Tump and his cabinet into not being as anti-Semitic as the DNC. Mr Trump is so silly for running as a Republican when he was a Democrat most of his life... Oh, wait, the DNC gave the nomination to Hilary? So how did that work out? 🤡
The “ex’s” need to keep talking. Tip of the iceberg on Trump’s behavior.
President Trump's time in the WH has been a work in progress, and progress it has. I'm sure he is quite aware of his missteps, and is intelligent enough to recognize and correct. Let's watch and see how this story plays out, before sowing seeds of discontent.
Thank you
Tillerson needs to tell us something we don't already know. He might help in saving our democracy.
True
no way! really?
'Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that Israeli officials 'played' President Trump...' Obviously there is a word or two completely missing. What happened to professional journalists? You can't even speak/write English properly. Ever hear of PROOFREADING? Shameful.
Is this shocking? I don't think so. Trump is so easily played. A little flattery and he'll do anything. Trump is not qualified to be President of the US. He needs to resign.
ISRAEL IS EVIL. WE SHOULDNT GIVE IT ONE THIN DIME
