"Speaking to reporters before getting onto his helicopter to go to the Nato summit in The Hague, Trump said he was unhappy with both Israel and Iran for breaking the ceasefire agreement he brokered.

Reserving his harshest criticism for Israel, he said: "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load we've seen.

"I'm not happy with Israel. When I say 'OK now you have 12 hours', you don't go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either.""

I really hate that this is some of the toughest public language I have seen about Israel from an American official.

Well, they fired the guy who said Israel was America'a worst ally.

Imagine a better world where he is arrested the moment he lands in the Hague.

Not arrested, dealt with. There's others like him but there'd be one fewer.
