Sen. Cory Booker launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu during a CNN interview, accusing both leaders of making disastrous decisions that have left their countries less secure and weakened the U.S.-Israel relationship.

Appearing on CNN’s Inside Politics with host Phil Mattingly, the New Jersey Democrat was asked about the recent conflict involving Iran and Israel and whether he agreed with criticism of Israeli actions voiced by Trump administration officials. Booker responded with some of his sharpest remarks yet against both leaders.

“The two of the worst administrations of all democratic governments on the planet Earth right now are the Netanyahu administration and the Trump administration, both led by criminals. Remember our president, first in history to have dozens of felony convictions. So we have two criminals leading — leading nations and acting in deeply immoral ways. And so this to me is the chickens coming home to roost. Israel is less safe and America is less safe, because of immoral leaders that made horrible decisions.”

Booker argued that the turmoil engulfing the Middle East is not simply the result of longstanding regional tensions but also stems from what he described as poor leadership decisions made in both Washington and Israel.

The New Jersey senator has become increasingly critical of Netanyahu in recent years, contending that the Israeli prime minister’s policies have harmed both Israel’s democratic institutions and its international standing. At the same time, Booker has repeatedly accused Trump of pursuing foreign policies that undermine American security and global influence.

During the CNN interview, Booker went even further, arguing that the consequences of decisions made by both governments are now becoming evident.

He later stated that “Bibi and Donald Trump are awful leaders that have ultimately come out not only making both of their nations weaker and more at risk as a result of this war in Iran, but in a cancerous way have eroded the U.S.-Israel relationship in a way that should make everyone concerned.”
