Donald Trump was able to put pressure on Bibi Netanyahu, which was something Joe Biden was criticized for not doing effectively. This move by Trump is seen as a significant shift in strategy.
Netanyahu has been a key figure in pushing the United States into wars in the Middle East.
Trump was willing to put pressure on Netanyahu in a way that President Biden was unwilling to do.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump are out-of-the-box thinkers who understand the Middle East better than the so-called experts. Their unconventional approach has led to significant victories against terror groups.
Some in the White House actually saw the failed strike as an opportunity. Netanyahu had taken the shot and he missed. It's perhaps a moment that could be exploited to get Netanyahu to budge on some negotiating points that he had long opposed.
The real question then was, what is Netanyahu going to do? During these sessions, Netanyahu repeatedly tries to massage language of some of the proposals that would reduce Israel's commitments and also to create loopholes that might make it appear that Hamas was violating the deal.
Trump's ability to maneuver in Middle East politics contrasts with Joe Biden's approach. Trump's leverage and relationships allowed him to pressure Netanyahu in ways Biden did not.
President Trump's visit to Israel, addressing the Knesset and meeting with families, showcases his commitment to peace in the Middle East. His actions are described as 'superhuman' given his age and the challenges faced.
Netanyahu's statements in Hebrew reveal the campaign's not over. It's a great opportunity for more actions, contrary to the peace narrative in English.
There's a lot of talk about Netanyahu caving, doing partial hostage deals. There's a lot of pressure for him to do so. Instead, he said, everybody comes out.
