1:14Now PlayingDonald Trump famously loves a winner and disdains a wasteful war. At the White House today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will cast himself as the former — and the now-suspended Gaza campaign as anything but the latter.
That Netanyahu is the first foreign guest of the reelected US president speaks volumes about the administration’s pro-Israel tilt and respect for a premier who has wrested dramatic gains from what has spiraled into a multi-front conflict with Iranian proxies.
But less sanguine Middle East leaders also have the ear of Trump, who yesterday described the current truce as a fragile “peace.”
That’s discordant for Israelis. Many see any arrangement that leaves Hamas in power in the Palestinian enclave as a recipe for a repeat of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war. Netanyahu’s rightist coalition partners could mutiny.
So he’ll want to reserve the right to resume Israel’s Gaza offensive, while Trump will look to sound out other ideas for a regime change.
