The US president says he’ll be ‘very firm’ with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Although it’s not clear that Israeli leaders want to end the “Forever War” they launched in the aftermath of the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, the US has enough leverage to force a truce, argues Georgetown University visiting scholar, Khaled Elgindy.
