Trump to Netanyahu after Hamas' Response: "Why are you always so negative?"
SadaNews - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed during discussions held the day before yesterday, Friday, following Hamas' response to U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to stop the war and exchange prisoners, that the movement's response was negative.
Netanyahu spoke during the discussions about the necessity of Israeli-American coordination to avoid the impression that Hamas had responded positively to Trump's plan, according to the Axios website, which reported today, Sunday, from a senior Israeli source.
A senior American source told Axios that Trump was concerned that Hamas' response to his plan would be negative, but when it became clear that Hamas' response was positive, he saw it as an opportunity to reach an agreement.
After Hamas announced its response, Trump spoke with Netanyahu by phone, welcoming the progress towards a potential agreement, but Netanyahu's reaction was not what Trump had expected, as Netanyahu had reservations regarding Hamas' response, Axios reported from two senior American sources.
An American source familiar with the conversation between Trump and Netanyahu stated, "Bibi told Trump there is no reason to celebrate and that Hamas' response has no value." The source added that Trump angrily replied to Netanyahu, saying, "I don’t know why you are always so negative. This is a victory. Take it."
Another American source confirmed the内容 of the conversation between Trump and Netanyahu, according to Axios.
Netanyahu's aides stated yesterday that Netanyahu and Trump are completely in agreement, while Netanyahu himself praised Trump during a recorded statement, whereas a senior American source mentioned that there was no consensus between the two and that their conversation was tense and that Trump was angry, according to Axios.
Two senior American sources stated that despite the tense conversation, Trump and Netanyahu reached a consensus, with one source indicating that "in the end, President Trump wants peace, and that is the most important thing. The administration is working closely with Israel to achieve that."
