NYT’s Tom Friedman: This Israeli Government Is Not Our Ally

Season 2025 Episode 7228 | 18m 47s

President Trump's trip to the Middle East this week does not include a stop in Israel, raising the question of whether there might be a growing divide between the two allies. NYT columnist Thomas Friedman says the alliance is unsurprisingly frayed, given this Israeli government's approach to the war against Hamas. He joins Michel Martin to discuss his most recent op-ed on the topic.
