Netanyahu scrambles to reset ties with Democrats after best ever relations with Trump

​Ben Caspit spoke with Israeli-American businessman and philanthropist Haim Saban, who is hailing Joe Biden’s victory. Saban thinks that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still afraid of the unpredictable nature of President Donald Trump, who "shoots from the hip," and could turn against Netanyahu in a heartbeat. On the Democrats, Saban says that both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are committed to US-Israel special relationship. Still he notes that a small minority within the Democratic party ("the squad”), which has a different approach on Israel, has grown stronger and louder after the last elections.   Netanyahu takes his time on congratulating Biden Unhappy Netanyahu must now do with Biden Netanyahu putting all his eggs in Trump’s basket
