New Book Recounts Trump’s Blunt Call to Netanyahu Before Gaza Deal
A new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan describes a telephone call between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump that, according to the account, helped pave the way toward ending the war in Gaza.
In the call, which also included Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Trump allegedly told Netanyahu, “Everyone is sick of you, Bibi.” He then added, “All the Jews are sick of you, even the two Jews in this conversation are sick of you.”
The article presents the exchange as a dramatic moment that preceded the signing of the hostage deal and the apparent move toward a conclusion of the fighting in Gaza. The call is described as part of the final stage of the negotiations involving Trump’s inner circle and Netanyahu.
