This morning, Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu removed U.S. President Donald Trump from the banner photo of his Twitter account in an apparent break with a political ally facing possible impeachment.
Netanyahu has been long taking pride from his photo sitting next to Trump at a White House meeting, as he placed it on his official @netanyahu account. One of his political popularity reasons was his close ties with the Republican president who offered him some unprecedented political positions for the U.S. in terms of regional disputes involving Israel.
Early on Tuesday, another photo, showing Netanyahu being injected with the coronavirus vaccine, topped the page, along with the slogan for Israel's inoculation campaign: "Citizens of Israel, we are returning to life".
No explanation was given on Netanyahu's site for Trump's disappearance, a day before the U.S. House of Representatives was expected to begin considering his second impeachment on after last week's storming of the Capitol.
In televised remarks on Thursday, Netanyahu called the events at the Capitol a "rampage" and said he was certain American democracy would prevail.
