President Donald Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the war in Gaza to a close and made clear that any Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities is currently off the table, according to a Channel 12 report citing unnamed sources.
In what was described as a rare and direct message from Trump to Netanyahu during a phone call yesterday, the president conveyed that he expects not just a temporary ceasefire or a hostage agreement through the ongoing Witkoff-mediated negotiations, but a definitive end to the fighting in Gaza, the report says.
Trump is said to have told Netanyahu that wrapping up the conflict would pave the way for progress in parallel diplomatic efforts involving Iran and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. is even prepared to offer Hamas significant assurances to achieve this goal, according to Channel 12.
The network noted that Trump’s push for an end to hostilities may explain Netanyahu’s remarks earlier today suggesting new developments in the talks to secure the release of Israeli hostages.
Trump also reportedly told Netanyahu that although he rejected Tehran’s most recent proposal, he has not abandoned nuclear negotiations with Iran. When Netanyahu emphasized the importance of maintaining a credible military threat, Trump repeated that military action should remain off-limits while talks are ongoing.
Channel 12 cites two individuals with knowledge of the exchange who said that Netanyahu did not receive a definitive response from Trump regarding whether the U.S. would back or join an Israeli-led strike on Iran if the negotiations collapse.
According to the report, Trump made it clear that no military plans would be considered until he officially determines that the diplomatic track with Iran has failed.
The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on the content of the call, Channel 12 adds.
This piece of trash who cares only about his legacy NOT about a single Yidisher neshoma. He was the משיח all Yidin thought was their savior.
Wrong. No one thought he was Mashiach. Since when does a gentile care about the life of a Jew. Your DC heroes, want to bomb Israel. That’s why people chose Trump.
He is better than the alternative.
Many of us are aware that Bibi Netanyahu is not around anymore. (Look at the picture.) Who installed the Bibi actor and who is controlling him?
