Netanyahu Invited to White House as Ground Offensive Begins in Gaza City

Pro-Trump narrative

Despite inviting Netanyahu to the White House, Trump is actually keeping him on a short leash. By withholding concessions, pressing tariffs, and cutting Israel out of key Gulf and Iran talks, Trump shows that America — not Netanyahu — holds the cards. He’s signaling that U.S. backing isn’t unconditional, and many believe he is close to losing his patience with the Israeli president.
