(AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth, Pool)Sir Rod Stewart is calling out his one-time friend Donald Trump for his role in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.In the past, the legendary crooner has spoken about the friendship that he and Trump shared long before the businessman and reality star made a venture into politics.Opening up about this relationship during a new interview with Radio Times, Sir Rod said that while he used to know Trump “very, very well” – even attending his annual Christmas parties in Florida, where they were neighbours, every year – that’s no longer the case, and he’s now “not a great fan” of the US leader.“He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that,” the Maggie May singer claimed. “But he didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well.“But since he became president, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know.”Donald TrumpAsked if he still counts Trump as a friend, he responded: “No, I can’t any more. As long as he’s selling arms to the Israelis – and he still is. How’s that war ever gonna stop?”Turning his attention to the UK’s prime minister, Sir Rod added: “[The UK] should stop selling them as well. What did Starmer say yesterday? They dropped the talks on trade? What fucking difference is that gonna make? “Someone’s gotta do something. What 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.”Sir Rod is currently gearing up for his appearance at Glastonbury, where he’ll be performing in the coveted Sunday afternoon “Legends” slot.In the weeks leading up to the festival, the Grammy winner cancelled and postponed a string of concerts while he recovered from a bout of il health.Read Sir Rod Stewart’s latest interview in Radio Times.READ MORE:Here's What Rod Stewart Actually Said In His Censored American Music Awards SpeechSir Rod Stewart Accuses 'Bully' Gregg Wallace Of 'Humiliating' His Wife On Celebrity MasterChef'I Shouldn't Have Said That': Here's How Rod Stewart Had King Charles Cracking Up At Charity Event
