"If US president Donald Trump truly wants to produce a new day in Gaza - and keep alive his hopes for a Nobel Peace Prize - he will have to continue to use the leverage he has with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu went into yesterday's White House meeting under pressure from his governing coalition to annex at least parts of the West Bank as a response to the recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, France, Canada, Ireland and others."
"It might also give Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize he desperately covets"
Donald Trump can use U.S. leverage over Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push for changes in Gaza and to keep alive hopes for a Nobel Peace Prize. Netanyahu entered a White House meeting under pressure from his governing coalition to annex parts of the West Bank in reaction to recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, France, Canada, Ireland and others. Annexation proposals respond to shifting international recognition and domestic coalition imperatives. Sustained U.S. influence would be necessary to prevent or shape annexation and to promote a new day in Gaza.
