During a gala dinner in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed confidence in Israel's strength and its U.S. alliance, amidst a crucial truce in Gaza expected to transition to a second phase. This confidence was juxtaposed with the need for strategic negotiations, particularly following his recent trip to the U.S. to gauge President Trump's intentions. As Hamas began talks in Doha and Cairo, Netanyahu's delayed response highlighted his reliance on Trump's support and the political gifts he has received since reassuming office in January 2021.
Netanyahu's delay in sending a negotiation delegation to Gaza was strategic, seeking to understand Trump's stance during his U.S. visit before engaging in further discussions.
With the Gaza ceasefire in its second phase, Netanyahu is riding a wave of strength, feeling more confident in his leadership and Israel's alliance with the U.S.
