  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said he told President-elect Donald J. Trump that the country had delivered "a tough blow" against Hamas and Hezbollah.
The article from The New York Times, published on December 16, 2024, discusses a phone call between former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The conversation reportedly focused on Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, with Trump expressing strong support for Israel's actions against Hamas. The call comes at a time when international pressure is mounting on Israel to reduce civilian casualties and seek a ceasefire. Trump's comments during the call were seen as an endorsement of Netanyahu's hardline stance, potentially influencing the dynamics of U.S. foreign policy towards the conflict if Trump were to return to office. The article also touches on the broader implications of Trump's influence on U.S.-Israel relations and the potential impact on the Biden administration's Middle East policy.
