American President-elect Donald Trump has shared a video on Truth Social in which prominent economist Jeffrey Sachs refers to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "dark son of a b*tch". 

 

Sachs, a known critic of Israel, says that Netanyahu manipulates US foreign policy and pushes the super power into "endless" wars in the Middle East. 

 

 

"[Netanyahu’s] gotten us into endless wars and because of the power of all of this in US politics, he’s gotten his way,” Sachs tells a Cambridge Union event in the video. 

 

While Trump did not add any remarks to the video, he has posted it at a time when a ceasefire deal seems within reach. The video has left many analysts scratching their heads as Trump's nominees for key positions in his future cabinet are known Zionists with documented anti-Palestine sentiment.
