Trump and Netanyahu Leave Little Daylight between Them
(New York Times) Peter Baker - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got most everything he came to Washington for. President Trump made clear that he had no intention of pressing Netanyahu as President Joe Biden did. During their meetings, Trump indicated he would not try to stop Israel from continuing to wage war against Hamas. Trump recommitted to brokering a diplomatic rapprochement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, while dropping any support for a Palestinian state. He also released weapons held up by the former president. "If there ever was a demonstration of no daylight between Israel and the U.S., this was it," said Aaron David Miller, a longtime Middle East peace negotiator.
