Aging rocker Rod Stewart accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to annihilate the Palestinian people.
In a recent interview with Radio Times, the 80-year-old British singer said, “What [Israeli President] [sic] Netanyahu is doing to the Palestinians is exactly what happened to the Jews. It’s annihilation, and that’s all he wants to do — get rid of them all. I don’t know how they sleep at night.”
Stewart added that his long-time friendship with US President Donald Trump is on the rocks due to Trump’s support for Israel.
“No, I can’t anymore,” the artist said about considering Trump a friend. “As long as he’s selling arms to the Israelis — and he still is. How’s that war ever gonna stop?
Stewart and Trump's previous relations
Stewart and Trump were neighbors for years in Palm Beach, Florida, and would socialize.
“I live literally half a mile away. We’re both on the beach," the iconic singer said.
"I used to go to his Christmas parties. He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that. But he didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well… Since he became president, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know," he added.
