US President Donald Trump shares a New York Times article on Truth Social that details how fury over Israel’s botched strike against Hamas leaders in Doha led him to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza.

Trump does not offer any commentary when sharing the story on Truth Social, but the decision to do so further bolsters the narrative about how the US president has lost patience with Netanyahu.

The Prime Minister’s Office has sought to downplay the notion, insisting that the two are on the same page regarding Trump’s Gaza plan, but mounting reports indicate that the Israeli premier had to be squeezed by Washington in order to accept it.
