Al Jazeera reporter Patty Culhane says President Trump typically reacts badly to
public rebuffs and could respond if Netanyahu rejects a Gaza peace plan by
withdrawing or curtailing Republican-driven US political and financial support
for Israel. Culhane notes US aid to Israel now rests largely with Republicans
and that Trump claims near-total control of the MAGA base and congressional
Republicans; she adds prior instances of Netanyahu defying Trump, including on
Lebanon and US‑Iran memoranda, produced no clear consequences.
