Trump's hope for Gaza Stripes fades, while Israel is planning a large escalation

When President Trump hosted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel in the White House in early April, a reporter Mr. Trump reminded that his promise of 2024 to end the war in Gaza remained unfulfilled.

Israel had recently broken a weak ceasefire with Hamas in his 18-month war and renewed his bombing of Gaza. But Mr. Trump known optimism.

“I would like to see how the war stops,” he replied. “And I think the war will stop at some point that will not be in the future too long.”

A month later, the prospects for peace in Gaza trained even further.

On Monday, Mr. Netanyahu warned of an “intensive” Israeli escalation in the Palestinian enclave after his security cabinet had approved plans to request tens of thousands of reservists for a new attack there.

Israeli Hawks insist that only for power can put Hamas under pressure to finally publish the more than 20 hostages that are still caught and end the conflict. However, many analysts say that great Israeli escalation could kill any hope for peace.

The question now is how Mr. Trump will react. Analysts said that Mr. Trump and his high -ranking civil servants are distracted from the conflict after an early flood of diplomacy to liberate the hostages and a long -term settlement. For Mr. Netanyahu, which seems to be prepared to be a free hand that seems to be prepared for it.
