Reviewing the recent war against Iran, Trump touted Washington’s Gulf allies for "fighting with us" as well as "warrior prime minister" Netanyahu.
"They should give him credit," Trump said of Netanyahu. "We really fought hard with Israel."

this week to permanently end the war between them and launch 60 days of talks — an agreement that has sparked alarm in Jerusalem.
The deal mandates a ceasefire in Lebanon, and Iran has demanded that Israel withdraw, but Israel has vowed to keep its troops in a buffer zone in the country’s south to protect border towns from Hezbollah rocket and drone fire. Israel has insisted that it is not beholden to the MOU and that it will not pull its troops out of southern Lebanon, a stance Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Friday, arguing that the buffer zone is necessary to protect citizens in the north from Hezbollah attacks.
Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire on Friday afternoon, after another flare-up in southern Lebanon. But the renewed truce appeared as fragile as ever.
Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter wrote on X. "If Hezbollah honors the agreement and ceases its hostilities, they will be met with quiet."
It’s unclear if or for how long Iran will accept the deal, given that the issue wasn’t just Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah but also the IDF’s presence in southern Lebanon that Tehran has argued violates the MOU, which stipulates "an immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."
Trump says he’s prepared to resume bombing Iran if the talks don’t advance, but in the same breath admits that he’d rather not restart the war because that would lead Tehran to again close the Strait of Hormuz.
"We have an agreement... and it’s 60 days. They have to make a deal, otherwise we will do things that won’t make them happy," Trump said Friday.
"I don’t think it’s going to get to that. I think it’s going to be very good. Remember, if we do [bomb Iran], then all of a sudden you’re not going to have the oil flowing out of the strait too quickly," Trump continued. "Because people that own billion dollar ships don’t love missiles flying over them, don’t love mines all over the water."
The Washington Post reported Friday that a US intelligence analysis has warned that Netanyahu is expected to take actions in Lebanon that will undermine the Trump administration’s push for a lasting peace with Iran. Citing current and former US officials, the report said US intelligence agencies assess that Israel seems determined to continue fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon, while the deal signed this between Iran and the administration calls for a cessation of military operations.
The analysis reportedly states that ahead of Knesset elections in the fall, Netanyahu’s political fate depends on him maintaining Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, and that he wants to ramp up Israeli attacks on Iran-backed Hezbollah.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Alamo, Davy was wondering if Buck was okay. He suspected he wasn't...
an administration official told the Post anonymously that Israel’s insistence on maintaining troops in Lebanon "is a recipe for disaster."
"Without a full Israeli withdrawal, the likelihood of resumed hostilities between the [Israeli military] and Hezbollah is all but certain," he said.
Sure, but with a full Israeli withdrawal the likelihood is 100%.
At the same time, Channel 12 reported that Netanyahu has invited his close confidante and former top aide, Ron Dermer, to recent consultations in an effort to calm ministers pushing for intensive military action against Hezbollah."This is a real emergency," Dermer, a former Israeli ambassador to the US who has worked to forge close ties between Netanyahu and the Trump administration, was quoted as saying. "The situation isn’t easy; we cannot make it worse. Trump can’t perceive Israel as being responsible for efforts to reach a final deal with Iran failing."
The network also cited an unnamed minister lashing out at the US president, referring to him as "the ginger" while calling for tougher action after four soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, saying that if Israel doesn’t act now, "we won’t succeed [in doing so] later."
"This is the time to formulate the rules of the game, before they are ultimately formulated for us."
Channel 12 also reported that some officials in the Trump administration are working to establish informal channels of communication with Israel’s opposition, including the leading contenders to replace Netanyahu in the upcoming election, former prime minister Naftali Bennett and former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot.
Way to make Bibi less willing to work with you, guys.
The report said the figures, including some with close ties to the Israeli leader, have increasingly been sending out feelers to build relations. it cited growing concern over hard-right members of the Netanyahu government seen as holy warriors; frustration with the inability to advance various diplomatic agendas with the current government, which has been stained internationally due to its conduct in the war in Gazoo...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
In what way stained? No army in history has waged such a careful war as Israel, as is widely acknowledged. The fact is that the haters will hate regardless, and the only act of Israel’s that would appease them would be if Israel were to lay down her arms and surrender to being killed, which will never happen...
and an acknowledgment that Netanyahu could very well lose the coming election, which is to take place in October at the latest.
