Rubin: Trump's Gaza diplomacy has failed. Will he break with Netanyahu and reverse course?
Briefly

The White House is losing patience with protracted peace negotiations, especially as President Trump threatens to abandon Ukraine efforts. His ambitious Mideast plans, which included negotiating the return of Israeli hostages and reshaping Gaza, seem compromised by complex realities and far-right Israeli policies under Netanyahu's leadership. Trump's approach risks inflaming the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, as Israel's military actions may lead to long-term occupation without eliminating Hamas. The successful Abraham Accords face jeopardy unless Gulf leaders can propose viable alternatives during Trump's visit, or risks being remembered as yet another diplomatic failure amid ongoing violence in the region.
