"If he f**ks up the deal, Donald Trump will f**k him. - US official to The Times of Israel"

Tel Aviv, October 24

Meanwhile, as per The Times of Israel, a US official said that US President Donald Trump will "f**k" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if the Israeli leader jeopardizes the Gaza ceasefire deal.

US official told The Times of Israel, "Netanyahu is walking a fine line with President Trump. If he keeps going, he'll f**k up the Gaza deal. And if he f**ks up the deal, Donald Trump will f**k him."

The remark reflects growing frustration in Washington with recent political moves in Israel, particularly the Knesset's vote yesterday to advance two bills to annex parts of the West Bank, which reportedly stunned US officials.

The source told Ravid that US Vice President JD Vance, who was visiting Israel at the time, was shocked by the decision and believes that Israel is acting in an "unsupervised" manner. Netanyahu updated Vance about the Knesset vote during the vice president's visit, assuring him that it was merely a "preliminary vote" and would "go nowhere," the public broadcaster Kan reported.

Vance responded, "This cannot happen while I am visiting here."

Netanyahu had been warned by American officials that the vote could provoke a backlash and destabilize ongoing negotiations over the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, Hamas terrorists responsible for the abduction of former hostages Noa Argamani, Avinatan Or and Eitan Mor from the Nova music festival, and others who participated in the October 7, 2023, onslaught, were killed in recent strikes in the Gaza Strip, the IDF and Shin Bet announce, as per The Times of Israel.

The language used by US officials is quite shocking honestly. Even if frustrated, such undiplomatic language between allies is concerning. India has always maintained dignified diplomacy regardless of differences.

Netanyahu playing both sides as usual. While meeting US officials for peace talks, his government simultaneously advances annexation bills. This double game won't help anyone. Peace requires sincerity from all sides.

As someone who has visited both Israel and Palestine, the human cost of this conflict is heartbreaking. Hope Trump's peace plan actually considers Palestinian rights and doesn't just favor one side. The region needs sustainable peace, not temporary solutions.

India should learn from this situation - strong leadership and clear foreign policy is crucial. We cannot afford to be pushed around by superpowers. Our national interests must always come first. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

The timing of the Knesset vote during VP Vance's visit shows either terrible planning or deliberate provocation. Either way, it undermines the peace process. Hope cooler heads prevail for the sake of innocent civilians caught in this conflict.
