Al Jazeera reporter Patty Culhane stated, "I think it's hard to recall a time when US President Trump enjoyed being rejected, whether by members of his own party, members of Congress, cabinet members, or foreign leaders. So rejecting the Gaza peace plan could be a dangerous move for Netanyahu and Israel. Currently, Israel is losing Democratic support, and US aid to Israel is entirely maintained by Republicans, something Trump often boasts about. In recent interviews, he has said things like, 'Israelis respect me and do what I say,' and 'I'm the one who calls the shots, Netanyahu isn't.' Therefore, Trump might take action to tell his supporters, 'You no longer need to support Israel.' He maintains almost complete control over the MAGA base and congressional Republicans. That said, we've seen precedents of Netanyahu defying Trump, such as on the Lebanon issue and the US-Iran memorandum of understanding. And those instances didn't have any consequences."
