President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he had no choice but to accept his cease-fire proposal, Israeli television’s Channel 12 reported Saturday.
“Netanyahu had reservations but I told him that this is his opportunity for victory,” Trump told reporter Barak Ravid in a phone call Saturday. “He accepted it. There is no other choice, with me you have to be okay.”
“Bibi went too far in Gaza and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,” Trump added. “Now I will bring back all that support.”
Trump spoke with Netanyahu by phone Friday, according to Channel 12.
The Saturday report comes a day after Hamas accepted certain key parts of Trump’s plan, including the release of Israeli hostages and ending the war in Gaza.
