The Israeli prime minister has to navigate complicated domestic politics with his aim of destroying Hamas and the need to keep the US on side.

Trump must act quickly and decisively on the situation in the West Bank. These actions amount to Netanyahu directly confronting Trump—as if he were only bluffing when he campaigned for peace and sent his envoy to achieve the ceasefire agreement just days earlier.
