The Debate

Netanyahu under pressure to accept Trump plan for Gaza


Listen Later

So far, Benjamin Netanyahu has been able to avoid almost any concessions in his dealings with Donald Trump. Instead, despite growing global outrage over the demolition of Gaza, Washington has always put the onus squarely on Hamas to first release the Israeli hostages. But did Netanyahu go too far with the targeting of a Hamas delegation hosted by US ally Qatar? Will the United States finally impose an end to the war?

In its 21-point plan, the Trump administration is no longer pushing the mass deportation of Gazans and is even siding with Gulf states in rejecting an annexation of the West Bank

Who wins in this struggle between ideology and money?

Produced by Marion Lory, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip and Guillaume Gougeon.
