Trump puts off Israel trip ‘until after I become president’ after Netanyahu rebukes him over Muslim ban call

UK Daily Mail
On Fox and Friends, Trump said Netanyahu is 'a good man. But I didn't want to put him under pressure'

"The Israeli government confirmed the meeting yesterday and said it was scheduled before the billionaire announced his plan to bar Muslims from entering the U.S.
"The prime minister 'will meet with any candidate from any party who will be arriving in Israel and request[s] a meeting,' an Israeli official told The Washington Post.
"Netanyahu later issued a statement that said: 'The state of Israel respects all religions and strictly guarantees the rights of all its citizens.'
' 'At the same time, Israel is fighting against militant Islam that targets Muslims, Christians and Jews alike and threatens the entire world.'
"According to the Post, he said late last night on Twitter that he would keep the meeting, but he 'rejects Donald Trump’s latest comments about Muslims.' . . .

The UK does not want Trump at this time either.
