Tel Aviv Worried About Trump Pressuring for Gaza Agreement’s Second Phase

Israeli media have reported growing concerns in Tel Aviv over the possibility of U.S. President Donald Trump pressuring to start the second phase of the Gaza agreement without disarming Hamas.

According to Al Mayadeen network, Israeli media sources stated that these concerns are serious within Israel’s political and security circles, fearing that Washington might push the agreement process forward without meeting Tel Aviv’s key demands.

Israel’s public broadcasting organization cited its sources, adding that assessments indicate the second phase of the Gaza agreement will likely begin after a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump.

At the same time, the same sources claimed that the second phase of the agreement will not start before the return of the body of the last Israeli captive; a matter that remains one of the sensitive and contentious points in the process.
