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.
Meanwhile, no change to arms sales, no sanctions, nothing but talk. And talk (especially from Trump) is dirt-cheap.
It reminds me of Biden supposedly being ‘very angry’ at Netanyahu behind the scenes but nothing actually changing.
Israel did its own holocaust, never forget.
Holocaust-ception at this point
The cycle of abuse at national level.
Could have said this 100 days ago. Why now?
Here comes the airplane
Most likely the backlash from the war is starting to affect their numbers.
Who would have thought that funding and arming a genocide hurts your popularity!?!?
It’s not a war, this is systemic murder.
It’s genocide. Call it by its right name.

He thinks he’s being clever and subtle, but he’s literally just threatning him to get something.
I actually think that in Israel’s case, threats are the only option left. The world has been trying far too much subtle diplomacy with them.
This is what Biden could have done. Threaten to cut off all aid until the genocide stops. The option was always there.
It’s very much a stopped clock scenario of course. Trump is being the same bull headed idiot he always is, this just happens to be the one time that’s appropriate.
And it won’t matter because he’ll fold like a cheap suit. He’s all bark, no bite.
This would be the first thing the orange traitor cunt does that I could actually support. Unless he has plans to commit suicide beforehand.
I fucking hate Trump as much as the next anti-fascist, but the “I can shoot a man on 5th Avenue and get away with it” factor here is kind of amazing. No Democrat or Republican not named Trump would be able to spurn Israel like this and get away with it. The pro-Israel and evangelical lobbies would fucking destroy anyone else.
For the record, I still think he’s an absolute garbage human and absolute garbage president, but damn.
Trump isn’t spurning Israel. He’s just talking shit in a low-effort attempt to cover up his complicity in the genocide.

Ngl, would actually be crazy if trumpy ended the “war”. Even if he is only doing it to push for the positive PR.
Nothing will happen. He will not abandon them. What does abandon even mean, stop selling them weapons? Yeah right
Sure Chump’s pissed…
Netan-yayhoo and Putain are standing in the way of that Nobel that Chump doesn’t have (that Obama does have). 😂 🤣
Gotta hurt for one such as Chump… 🤷♂️ 🤡
“We will abandon you”
Truer words are never spoken
