How Netanyahu Misread His Relationship with Trump
Briefly

Donald Trump's bluster and threats, particularly demanding Hamas release hostages, injected urgency into faltering cease-fire negotiations, showcasing his unexpected influence on the situation in Gaza.
Netanyahu's long-standing strategy of aligning with the Republican Party left him vulnerable; Trump's assertive demands on Hamas put immense pressure on the Israeli Prime Minister, isolating him diplomatically.
With Trump's return to power looming and his insistence on a cease-fire, Netanyahu faced a precarious position where he risked losing crucial U.S. support by opposing the new president.
While Biden's administration navigated complexities, Trump's aggressive stance created a new dynamic in foreign policy discussions, underscoring how past alliances can have significant ramifications in international diplomacy.
