During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent visit to the White House, President Donald Trump has been seen as providing political support to the Israeli leader, according to a former US Middle East peace negotiator. Rather than focusing on advancing the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement, Trump's actions have been perceived as bolstering Netanyahu's position domestically by giving him leverage against his right-wing critics.
The former negotiator, Aaron David Miller, noted that Trump's gestures have equipped Netanyahu with persuasive arguments to maintain a strong political stance during a crucial period. This move is expected to aid Netanyahu in garnering support and navigating internal political challenges effectively.
