'Make deal in Gaza': Trump steps up pressure for ceasefire; urges Hamas to release hostages
US President Donald Trump posted a message late at night, calling upon Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement regarding Gaza, focusing on the return of hostages who were taken on October 7. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!! DJT," was his message on the Truth Social platform. The post appeared to urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalise the ceasefire agreement, which Trump had previously suggested would be signed within a week. The message was posted several hours after Trump's second appeal to Israeli prosecutors to abandon their case against Netanyahu, stating "he is right now in the process of negotiating a Deal with Hamas, which will include getting the Hostages back." The US expends billions of dollars annually, surpassing aid to any other nation, in its support and protection of Israel. Trump expressed his disapproval of this situation on Truth Social. On Saturday, Trump praised Netanyahu as a "War Hero" and suggested the legal case would hinder the prime minister's diplomatic efforts with Iran and Hamas, the Palestinian militant organisation currently in conflict with Israel. Trump stated, "This travesty of 'Justice' will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations," though he did not specify which Iranian negotiations he meant. The American president drew parallels between Netanyahu's legal challenges and his own experiences before his second presidential term. Trump declared, "It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure." A court in Israel declined Netanyahu's appeal on Friday to delay his testimony in the corruption proceedings, stating his justification was insufficient. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Netanyahu and his spouse Sara face allegations of accepting luxury items valued over $260,000, including cigars, jewellery and champagne, from wealthy individuals in exchange for political benefits. Additional charges involve Netanyahu allegedly seeking preferential media coverage from two Israeli news organisations. Netanyahu maintains his innocence and has expressed gratitude to Trump for supporting Israel during its conflict with Iran, which recently reached a ceasefire. His legal representative requested a two-week exemption from court appearances, citing the prime minister's need to focus on national security matters. Trump defended Netanyahu on Wednesday, characterising the legal proceedings as a "witch hunt." During Hamas's October 7, 2023, assault on Israel, 251 people were taken hostage, with 49 believed to remain in Gaza, including 27 whom Israeli forces confirm as deceased. Discussions continue regarding the return of surviving hostages and casualties' remains, while Israel maintains its military campaign in Gaza.

Ex-Israeli PM Bennett says Netanyahu 'must go', blames him for 'divisions' in Israeli society
JERUSALEM: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must leave office, his predecessor Naftali Bennett has told a televised interview, refusing to say whether he intends to challenge the country's longest-serving leader in an election. In an interview with Israel's Channel 12 that aired on Saturday, former prime minister Bennett said Netanyahu "has been in power for 20 years... that's too much, it's not healthy." "He responsibility for the divisions in Israeli society", Bennett said of growing rifts within Israel under Netanyahu, who has a strong support base but also staunch opponents who have demanded his departure including over his handling of the Gaza war since October 2023. Netanyahu "must go", said the former prime minister, a right-wing leader who in 2021 joined forces with Netanyahu critics to form a coalition that ousted him from the premiership after 12 consecutive years at the helm. But the fragile coalition government Bennett had led along with current opposition chief Yair Lapid collapsed after about a year. Snap elections ensued, and Netanyahu again assumed the premiership with backing from far-right and ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties. Bennett, who has taken time off from politics, has been rumoured to be planning a comeback, with public opinion polls suggesting he may have enough support to oust Netanyahu again. No vote is currently planned before late 2026, however, although early elections are common in Israel. In his Saturday interview, Bennett claimed credit for laying the groundwork for Israel's bombardment campaign earlier this month against Iranian nuclear and military sites. The decision to launch attacks against the Islamic republic "was very good" and "needed", said Bennett, claiming that the offensive would not have been possible without the work of his short-lived government. In Gaza, where Israel has waged war since Hamas's October 2023 attack, Bennett said the military has displayed "exceptional" performance but "the political management of the country" was "a catastrophe, a disaster". Criticising the Netanyahu government's "inability to decide", the former prime minister called for an immediate "comprehensive" agreement that would see all remaining hostages freed from Gaza. "Leave the task of eliminating Hamas to a future government," said Bennett, who also evaded several questions about whether he intends to run for office.
