Yes, in that he was one of 12 disciples who was with Jesus basically 24/7. Jesus would have had Judas' best interests at heart and thus would be a true friend. Now with that definition, did Judas have Jesus' best interests at heart ? Nah. Betrayal showed where Judas' interests were - (30 pieces of silver). Was Jesus a friend of Judas? Now that's another question.

There are 2 scholarly camps pertaining to this question. The vast majority believe that Judas betrayed Jesus. The minority camp believes that Judas was simply following the commands of the Lord given specifically to him and was thus Jesus's true friend. You decide.

Yes. He was one of his Disciples. Jesus knew that one of them would betray him. Judas was the one.

If he was a friend, Jesus had no enemies.

He was. Please realize that Christ was familiar with the prophecies about himself from an early age. So, on that vein he knew someone close would betray him for silver. He was no fool. : )
