As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Florida on Sunday ahead of a high-stakes meeting with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, not everyone in Washington welcomed the visit.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) publicly criticized Trump for scheduling meetings with both Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging the president to focus exclusively on domestic priorities.
“Zelensky today. Netanyahu tomorrow. Can we just do America?” Greene wrote Sunday on X.
The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, set for Monday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, will mark the sixth meeting between the two leaders this year, as Israel continues to grapple with ongoing conflicts across the Middle East.
Greene’s comments were the latest in a long string of public criticisms targeting Israel and U.S. support for the Jewish state.
Earlier this month, she accused Trump of “serving Israel’s interests,” claiming he had acted on Israel’s behalf even to the point of confronting Iran.
“He has served Israel’s interest, even attacking Iran,” Greene said in a recent interview, grouping Israel alongside what she described as powerful political and corporate interests.
In October, Greene drew widespread backlash after condemning Israeli airstrikes launched in response to a Hamas attack that killed Israeli soldiers.
In a social media post, she cited casualty figures from the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry and questioned whether Israel’s military response constituted “war crimes,” despite the lack of independent verification and the ministry’s failure to distinguish between civilians and combatants.
In August, Greene went further, comparing Israel’s war against Hamas to a hypothetical scenario in which Americans were collectively punished for the actions of their government.
In the same post, she accused Israel of killing “innocent people and children” and declared she would not support U.S. funding for what she labeled “genocide,” a claim rejected by U.S. and Israeli officials.
Once a prominent MAGA ally, Greene has increasingly positioned herself as one of the House GOP’s most outspoken critics of Israel. Her relationship with Trump deteriorated after his return to office in 2025, culminating in repeated clashes with Republican leadership.
Greene recently announced she will resign from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, after Trump pledged to back a primary challenger and publicly labeled her a “traitor.” In announcing her departure, Greene complained that GOP leaders had sidelined her and said her legislation had been ignored.
