President Donald Trump was mocked after a video showing him pushing in the chair for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went viral Tuesday night.
Netanyahu, who is wanted for arrest by the International Criminal Court, visited the White House this week, marking Trump's first meeting with a foreign leader since his second term began.
Social media users were unsettled as a viral clip showed the typically obstinate Trump exhibiting subservient behavior in the Israeli prime minister's presence.
"Why is the president of the United States pushing in the chair for a foreign leader," Jake Shields, a far-right commentator, wondered.

The prime minister's visit comes amid ongoing negotiations with Hamas over Phase 2 of the ceasefire deal, NPR reported.
During a joint press conference, Trump shocked the world when he claimed the US will expel Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt and take over rebuilding the area with backing from Netanyahu. The president's declaration drew condemnation from global leaders in Spain, Germany, Scotland and more.
