Trump Declares Netanyahu 'Must Accept' Gaza Ceasefire

Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire agreement dozens of times since Trump made the comments to TIME magazine

US President Donald Trump recounted telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he “had to accept” the ceasefire in Gaza, warning the Israeli premier that “the world is against you.”

Trump made the comments in an interview with TIME, carried out on 15 October and released this week.

The US president reveals in the interview how he called Netanyahu on 4 October to “deliver a message: The war in Gaza was over.”

“Bibi, you can’t fight the world,” Trump recounted telling Netanyahu. “You can fight individual battles, but the world is against you.”

“He had to stop because the world was going to stop him. You know, I could see what was happening. You could see what was happening. And Israel was becoming very unpopular. And that's what I meant when I said ‘the world.’ There are a lot of powers out there, okay, powers outside of the region. And anyway, he did the right thing,” Trump added.

According to the TIME interview, Netanyahu “pushed back,” but Trump “wasn’t having it.”

Trump went “into a profanity-laced monologue” about all he had done for Israel, including “moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing its sovereignty over the Golan Heights, brokering the Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, even joining Israel’s strikes on Iran in June.”

Trump said he “could no longer stand with Netanyahu” if he “didn’t sign onto the pact.” According to the president, the deal was reached by the end of the phone call.

All of Israel’s living captives have been released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, as part of the agreement.

...The president also said “we're very close” to a Saudi–Israeli normalization agreement. Riyadh continues to publicly insist on a viable pathway toward a two-state solution in exchange for any normalization, which Tel Aviv has refused.

Israel has not only categorically rejected the idea, but has worked to destroy any path to a Palestinian state by rapid illegal settlement expansion and acceleration of plans to annex the occupied West Bank.
