Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu skillfully “played” US President Donald Trump by plying him with inaccurate information to gain an upper hand, former US secretary of state Rex Tillerson said this week.
Netanyahu, who is fighting for his political life after close elections on Tuesday, was “a bit Machiavellian” and would share “misinformation” with the United States, according to Trump’s former top diplomat.
Tillerson, who was fired by Trump last year, made the observations during a forum Tuesday at Harvard University as reported by The Harvard Gazette, the university’s official news outlet.
