US President Donald Trump will not “force a proposal on Israel it doesn’t believe in,” senior Israeli officials tell Channel 12, regarding efforts to end the war in Gaza.
The officials add that this was emphasized in a number of conversations between senior US and Israeli officials, including at the highest levels.
According to the outlet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ministers that he and Trump will discuss possible responses to the wave of announcements from Western countries recognizing a Palestinian state. He reportedly maintained that any move Israel wants to take would need Trump’s approval.
