Trump scolds Netanyahu

Israel assassinated top Hamas commander Raed Saad in Gaza over the weekend, and Axios reports that U.S. President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he was jeopardizing the Israel-Hamas ceasefire. One U.S. official told Axios: “The White House message to Netanyahu was: ‘If you want to ruin your reputation and show that you don’t abide by agreements, be our guest, but we won’t allow you to ruin President Trump’s reputation after he brokered the deal in Gaza.’” The two leaders portray a public image of unity, but divisions behind the scenes are growing and may soon lead to a break, and to Israel looking for a new ally.
