Two senior Israeli officials have expressed concern to The Times of Israel over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s repeated call for Israel to quickly end its war against Hamas in Gaza, fearing an inability to do so will lead to a clash if the former president returns to office in January.
“There are internal political constraints to ending the war quickly,” one of the Israeli officials from the security establishment said on Sunday.
While declining to elaborate, he appeared to refer to the makeup of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, which includes far-right elements who have opposed hostage deal proposals conditioned on a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
There is also near-unanimity within the Netanyahu government against allowing the Palestinian Authority to play a role in the governance of Gaza. A second Israeli official said this has contributed to the war dragging on, as Jerusalem struggles to find a viable alternative to fill the power vacuum in Gaza, thereby allowing Hamas to regain its footing in areas where the IDF has left.
A lawmaker from the opposition — also speaking on condition of anonymity — acknowledged that dragging out the war through the 2025 US presidential inauguration would sour relations with Vice President Kamala Harris if she were to win in November.
However, “Netanyahu has managed clashes with Democratic presidents without paying a heavy price. In fact, he campaigns on his ability to stand up to them,” the lawmaker said.
"A fight with Trump is something he hasn’t really had to deal with, and I think it’s something he’d want to avoid, but [Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich and [National Security Minister Itamar] Ben Gvir may not let him,” the MK added, referring to the far-right cabinet ministers whose support the premier needs to remain in power.

How about we just stop giving Iran the billions of dollars it needs to fund terrorists?
👍👍👍👍👍
I suppose Israeli officials would be happy if Harris wins and the US keeps supporting the terrorists?
Oh no they're not. Partisan media spinners, trying to change the subject from this:
Just go Old Testament on the infidels already!
Two,
had to find something.....🚽
That action would end the war very quickly. It would also hamper Houthi Red Sea attacks. Stop making sense.
This article is just plain stupid.
Polar opposite of reality. Must be some kind of Democrat/Deep State misinformation plant.

Oh, please. Who are these “two senior Israeli officials”? Biden plants?
President Trump LOVES Israel. His preferred mechanism for “quickly end[ing] its war against Hamas in Gaza” will be to totally, completely, QUICKLY kick Hamas’ ass — Pally civilians and UN and US State Department be damned.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!

IMHO you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
Israeli media are as biased and corrupt as the US mainstream media.
TOI is a Leftist mouthpiece for Israel’s Deep State WASPs (White Ashkenaz Socialist Post-Zionist) who can’t accept that they can no longer win elections and so resort to street riots and media hyperpropaganda.
Funny thing is that the Biden misadministration supports Hamas and Hezbollah, probably secretly supplying weapons and ammo too.
Certainly supplying them with intel as per the Pentagon leak.
Trump will knee cap Zelensky.
But he won’t knee cap Israel.

Intended to give American Jews
2nd thoughts about voting for Trump.
Spot on. There’s an Iranian mole in the pentagon.
There is no such thing as a permanent cease fire in the Middle East.
Methinks these “worrywarts” may be some of the ones leaking Israel’s plans to the terrorists...
Pentagon, media, and other units of the Demagogic Party.
