Trump Administration is Now Reportedly Growing Frustrated with Israel • Franknez.com

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares for a high-stakes White House sit-down with President Donald Trump on Monday, frustration is boiling over inside the administration, with aides openly venting that “everyone—and I mean everyone—is exasperated with Bibi.”

The raw exasperation, shared by sources close to the peace talks, stems from Netanyahu’s surprise strikes on Hamas leaders in Qatar and a broader sense that the Israeli leader is torpedoing Trump’s ambitious 21-point Middle East peace plan just as it’s reaching the “final stages.”

Details of the Matter

The meeting, set against the backdrop of Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, couldn’t come at a more tense moment.

Trump has pinned big hopes on the proposal, which envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been hammering out for months.

Witkoff, the White House’s point man on Israel, and Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law turned informal Middle East fixer, huddled with Netanyahu in New York on Sunday to lay the groundwork.

But insiders say the talks are teetering, with Netanyahu’s unpredictability threatening to derail the whole thing.

At the heart of the gripe?

A botched operation last week where Israel targeted Hamas figures in Doha, Qatar—the sixth such hit since the October 7, 2024, attacks that ignited the conflict.

The U.S. wasn’t looped in until the missiles were airborne, a move that drew international fire and kneecapped fragile ceasefire negotiations.

“Steve was handling Israel more, and Jared was with the Arab states.

But both are at their wits’ end with Israel,” one adviser told Axios, capturing the White House’s mounting impatience.

How the Administration is Proceeding

Trump, ever the dealmaker, is banking on Netanyahu buying in.

During a recent rally, he teased the breakthrough: “If we get this done, it will be a great day for Israel and for the Middle East.

It will be the first chance for real peace in the Middle East.

But we have to get it done first.”

The plan aims to broker a lasting truce, but sources say Netanyahu’s reluctance—coupled with Israel’s declining global support amid the Gaza humanitarian crisis—has aides on edge.

One official close to the process warned that if Netanyahu stonewalls, he’ll own the fallout: “People will continue to starve.

Let’s hope we get there.”

A Pattern with a Past

The bad blood isn’t new.

Trump’s first term saw Netanyahu as a close ally, but their rapport frayed over the years, especially after Netanyahu congratulated Joe Biden on his 2020 win.

Now, with U.S. public opinion shifting against Israel’s war—polls show eroding support among younger voters and Democrats—the pressure is on.

White House insiders believe a Netanyahu no-show could flip the script, pinning the blame squarely on him for prolonging the suffering and ignoring Palestinian needs.

The Daily Beast reached out to the White House for comment but didn’t hear back.

As the Monday talks loom, the stakes feel sky-high: A win could cement Trump’s legacy as a peacemaker; a flop might expose the cracks in his foreign policy inner circle.

For now, the exasperation is palpable—everyone’s had it, and Netanyahu’s about to walk into the lion’s den.
