Trump doesn't have much leverage over Israel. I don't think any threat to stop sending them arms is credible. The most I could think of was that he could try and leverage Bibi's political vulnerability. But if Bibi think he's politically vulnerable, that could lead him to become even more aggressive militarily.


Even if it's real Bibi will massage Trump's ego by pretending it was staged, and that Trump planned the whole thing. 

Trump can't get into a genuine battle of wits with Bibi, since he's unarmed.
