The ongoing Israel-Gaza crisis is notably influenced by Trumpâs previous proposals for Gaza and his current disengagement. This has encouraged Netanyahu's aggressive policies that critics label as ethnic cleansing. Despite previous effective interventions by Trumpâs envoy leading to a temporary ceasefire, the situation has since worsened, with Gaza facing a humanitarian crisis due to blockades. The U.S. administration appears overstretched and disinterested, continuing a pattern of ambitious diplomacy efforts that fall short of tangible progress, leaving Jerusalemâs leaders increasingly bold in their military actions.
The common perception in both Washington and Israel is that Trump has largely moved on, leaving an emboldened Netanyahu to his own devices.
Part of the tragedy is that the only one who can actually save us, Trump, is not even seriously interested in that... But [Trump] seems disinterested.
His influence on Netanyahu appeared to be greater than that of previous US presidents, including his rival Joe Biden.
It is a trend that has repeated with this White House: broad designs for a grand deal followed by frustration when diplomacy fails to yield instant results.
