Dispute between Trump and Netanyahu over Gaza
According to the US Axios publication citing sources, President Donald Trump used inappropriate language when he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing confidence that his peace initiative process regarding Gaza was progressing successfully. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
On October 3, after HAMAS representatives reportedly expressed a positive attitude towards Trump's plan, the White House leader considered it good news and immediately called Netanyahu. However, the Israeli Prime Minister described this response as no reason to celebrate.
According to the source, Netanyahu's reaction caused Trump to lose his temper. He sharply told the president, “Why are you always so negative?
This is a victory, accept it.” Political commentators believe this conflict shows how seriously Trump approaches his plan and how much hope he places on it.
Additionally, among the complex issues between Washington and Tel Aviv, the pressure on negotiations regarding Gaza is also increasing. Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan concerning Gaza was announced on September 29 during a meeting with Netanyahu in Washington.
The document envisages steps such as the release of all Israeli hostages, the surrender of HAMAS, delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, and transferring its administration to a temporary international oversight authority. Although the parties still have differing approaches on this matter, American officials emphasize that work on the plan is ongoing.
The Israeli side, meanwhile, maintains a cautious position from a security standpoint.
