US President Donald Trump has been increasing pressure on Israel over recent days, an anonymous source told The Washington Post on Monday.

“Trump has been letting Israel know ‘we will abandon you if you do not end this war,’” the source added, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.

The increase in pressure from Trump came after Israel called up tens of thousands of reservists and ramped up Gaza bombings, the Washington Post added.

    I thought the “war” was pretty much over at this point, they’re just bulldozing any remaining Palestinians.

      That’s precisely why it’s “safe” for Trump to say this now and pretend he has an ounce of integrity. He will “abandon” them after they’ve already finished the job.

      He’s also apparently getting mad at putin for whatever reason. I think he genuinely thought he could end the Ukraine-Russia war and the Palestinian genocide in 24 hours like he claimed, and is getting actually upset that he couldn’t.

        Yeah, that’s about as credible as a WWE beef. Trump is just sore about being called out as Putin’s bitch and is trying to pretend he’s not, without actually changing anything that would upset Putin.

        Chump is still jonesing for that Nobel that he hasn’t gotten (that Obama does have).

        That’s sticking in his craw in a way most of us just can’t understand. 🤷‍♂️ 🤡
