Times of Israel: Trump asked Netanyahu to end the war on Gaza as he assumed office in the White house
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza if he wins the election and becomes president, The Times of Israel reported.
The Israeli newspaper quoted unnamed informed sources as saying that Trump asked Netanyahu to delay ending military operations in Gaza until he takes office in the White House, if he wins the upcoming presidential election.
The US presidential election will be held on November 5, 2024, and will witness a fierce competition between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Trump.
According to a former US official in the Trump administration and an Israeli official, this message was conveyed to Netanyahu during a meeting at Trump’s private resort, Mar-a-Lago, Florida, in July 2024.
The Times of Israel confirmed that this is the first time that Trump has spoken of a specific timetable for ending war.
According to a former US official, Trump may continue to support Israel as long as Netanyahu’s government officially ends the war.
