Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded his recent U.S. visit, securing praise from President Trump, who called him a “hero” and claimed Israel met the terms of a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire. Despite this, U.S. officials are frustrated with Netanyahu’s slow implementation of the plan, which includes aid deliveries and negotiations for a peace administration in Gaza. Netanyahu faces pressure from his hardline coalition against the ceasefire and is resistant to international oversight in Gaza, fearing it would limit Israel’s military freedom. Additionally, he aims to thwart any progress towards a two-state solution, complicating the political landscape further.
