Trump's decision creates crisis in Tel Aviv: Netanyahu is desperate

The Israeli newspaper Maariv claimed that Trump extended the ceasefire by opposing Netanyahu's expectations regarding Iran, and that this caused unease in Tel Aviv. The newspaper wrote that due to the prolonged war, Israel is experiencing serious wear and tear in both the military and public opinion.

In a striking analysis, the Israeli newspaper Maariv claimed that a serious disagreement has arisen between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Iran policy. The article argued that the tension in the Oval Office has left Netanyahu in a difficult position.

The report stated that Trump has approved the extension of the ceasefire, while Israel wanted the attacks to continue.

"TRUMP DOES NOT BELIEVE ATTACKS WILL YIELD RESULTS"

According to Maariv, the main reason for the extension of the ceasefire that began on April 8 is that Trump is not convinced that new attacks will produce better results.

The analysis stated that attacks on Iran's electricity infrastructure and bridges would not accelerate an agreement with the Tehran administration, but on the contrary would reduce the likelihood of dialogue.

"NETANYAHU'S WAR POLICY HAS REACHED A DEAD END"

Maariv argued that Netanyahu's war strategy is no longer producing results. The article claimed that the war has brought Israel more exhaustion than military success, and that political goals have not been achieved.

The report assessed that "the war no longer brings better results, only leads to more exhaustion."

CRISIS IN THE ISRAELI MILITARY

The analysis claimed that the Israeli military is experiencing manpower shortages, discipline problems, and low morale. It alleged that career officers are increasingly resigning and that the military is forced to act under political pressure.

THE PUBLIC IS TIRED OF WAR

Maariv wrote that war fatigue is also increasing among the Israeli public. It argued that rhetoric such as disarming Hamas, eliminating Hezbollah, and "total victory" no longer resonates with society.

The report stated that the public is tired of inconclusive war policies and that support is gradually diminishing.

"HE WANTS TO PROLONG THE WAR UNTIL THE ELECTIONS"

One of the most striking claims in the analysis concerned Netanyahu's political future. Maariv claimed that Netanyahu is trying to gain political advantage by prolonging the war until the elections.

It was alleged that if the war ends, demands for a state commission of inquiry would come back to the forefront, and Netanyahu wants to avoid that.

"NO SOLUTION WITHOUT A NEW GOVERNMENT"

At the end of the article, it was argued that political agreements in Israel can only be advanced by a new government free from corruption allegations.

Maariv claimed that comprehensive political repair is needed to make up for the mistakes of the last 20 years.
