Trump team frustrated with Netanyahu over Gaza ahead of Mar-a-Lago visit -- report

US President Donald Trump is preparing major announcements on Gaza, with the outcome hinging on his upcoming meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, according to Axios. Members of Trump's team are reportedly frustrated with Netanyahu, believing he is stalling the ceasefire framework and may resume military action against Hamas, despite efforts to persuade Trump to take a tougher stance.

The White House is pushing for a swift rollout of a Palestinian technocratic government in Gaza, supported by an international force, and is considering a Trump-led peace board at the World Economic Forum. Trump's advisors, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, have been working with Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey to advance the next phase of the deal, which involves Hamas disarming and Israeli troops pulling back.

Netanyahu remains skeptical, particularly about Gaza's demilitarization, and has clashed with Trump's envoys over the plan. US officials have voiced concerns about Israeli military actions that may undermine the ceasefire, and have met with regional leaders to outline demands for Netanyahu ahead of the Florida summit. Trump is also expected to address issues in the West Bank, including fears of instability and violence.
