Trump Slams Netanyahu with Profanity Over Gaza Deal
U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during discussions over the Gaza peace plan, using profanity to express his growing frustration with Israel’s stance.
Heated Words in Talks
Reports suggest Trump told Netanyahu he was being “so f-ing negative” regarding elements of the 20-point U.S.-backed proposal designed to bring an end to the Gaza conflict. The exchange highlighted Trump’s impatience with what he sees as Israel’s reluctance to fully embrace the plan.
Strains in Relationship
This is not the first time Trump has spoken sharply about Netanyahu. In earlier private remarks, he suggested Israel’s leadership was too focused on political narratives rather than effective conflict resolution, saying they “don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.”
Political Roadblocks
Netanyahu faces resistance from far-right members of his government who oppose concessions within the peace framework. This makes implementation of external mediation efforts more difficult, despite U.S. pressure.
Implications for U.S.–Israel Ties
The tense exchange underscores the challenges in aligning U.S. and Israeli strategies on Gaza. Analysts say Trump’s blunt approach may be aimed at forcing urgency in talks but could risk straining ties with Israel if disagreements deepen.
