Unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza can be delayed no longer

It is not clear what was the motive behind US President Donald Trump’s call to Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the need to progress the Gaza peace plan. It is possible that, after the major defeat of the Republican Party in last week’s midterm elections, the White House was looking for a scapegoat. Furthermore, with the results of the Israeli elections, blaming Israel will have little cost with Tel Aviv, since the tide is already turning against Trump’s friend Netanyahu, who does not look like he will stay in power for much longer.

The reporting of the phone call also shows the influence of the Israeli prime minister on a project that is often referred to as the Trump plan for Gaza.
