US President Donald Trump is pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fulfill agreements already reached on the Gaza Strip. According to sources, the American administration believes Netanyahu has in principle agreed to move to the second phase of the peace plan, and the US has met Israel's conditions. Trump stated: 'Bibi must agree to the deal. I did everything he asked; now it's his turn to do what I ask.' In the White House, suspicions are growing that Netanyahu is deliberately stalling, raising additional conditions, and seeking to revise provisions of the 15-point plan. Jared Kushner intends to arrive in Israel to push for the deal's implementation and convey key demands: cessation of IDF strikes on Gaza, troop withdrawal behind the 'yellow line', increased humanitarian supplies, and creation of conditions for the sector's reconstruction and formation of civil governance bodies. Earlier, Kursor reported that after Netanyahu's refusal of the plan, the White House did not express serious concern.
