Report: Trump's Patience For Netanyahu Grows Thin
Channel 12 reports growing expectations that Donald Trump will pressure Netanyahu to present a clear Gaza war exit plan with timelines. Meanwhile, Israel eliminates the Hamas terrorist who killed YAMAM officer Arnon Zmora during June’s hostage rescue.
As reported on Channel 12’s “Ulpan Shishi”, there is a growing assessment within the Israeli government that U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to move forward with a concrete plan to end the war in Gaza.
According to political correspondent Yaron Avraham, sources close to the Prime Minister believe Trump will present a form of timeline or benchmarks, signaling that, from his perspective, it is time for the Israeli leadership to bring the conflict to a close.
CNN reported that Trumps' envoys delivered a clear message to Netanyahu, telling him "the time has come to end the war." According to CNN, the framework under discussion includes the release of all hostages held in Gaza within 48 hours as part of a broader deal to halt the fighting.
While officials in the Prime Minister's circle insist there is "full coordination" with Trump, they also acknowledge a noticeable shift in his patience regarding the Gaza issue. The sense emerging from Netanyahu's camp is that Trump’s support remains strong, but that he now expects results, particularly on the matter of hostages and a clear post-war strategy.
Although Trump claims that intensive talks are underway and that Hamas is "well aware" of the emerging deal’s details, Hamas has not received any new proposal to restart negotiations toward ending the Gaza war, a Qatari diplomatic source told Al Jazeera.
Israel has yet to formally present its position on the proposed framework.
Meanwhile, the Shin Bet and the IDF announced today that they have eliminated the Hamas operative who killed YAMAM counter-terrorism officer Arnon Zmora (z"l) during the rescue mission of four Israeli hostages in June.
The operative, identified as Mahmad Ahmed Yosef Algjamal, was killed in a joint operation based on targeted intelligence.
The Attack: Algjamal was the terrorist who shot and killed Arnon Zmora as the Israeli special forces team breached one of the buildings in the Nuseirat refugee camp where the hostages were being held on June 8, 2024.His Role: Algjamal was also one of the guards holding the four Israeli hostages, Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv, who were successfully rescued in "Operation Arnon."
The Shin Bet provided focused intelligence that led to a targeted Air Force strike in the Gaza Strip today (Saturday), eliminating Algjamal.
Also killed in the strike was Sari Idris Mahmad Alakrab, a Hamas operative who participated in the October 7th massacre inside Israel and was closely associated with Algjamal.
