The Times of Israel reported on Thursday that the Washington meeting between Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and US special envoy Steve Witkoff on Iran and Hamas captives earlier this week was “uneasy.”
The Israeli media outlet quoted an Israeli official as saying that Witkoff is getting impatient with ‘Israel’, especially around the “drama.”
The official pointed, meanwhile, to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s video on Monday in which he said he hoped to make an announcement regarding captives held in Gaza “today or tomorrow.”
News have been circulating in the last week over reported widening divisions between the US and the Zionist entity.
Israeli media reported that Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump engaged in a heated phone call last week over Iran’s nuclear program.
According to Israel’s Channel 12 news, Trump told Netanyahu during their phone call that he wanted “a diplomatic solution with the Iranians.”
“I believe in my ability to make a good deal,” he said, stressing that a possible arrangement would serve the interests of both sides.
For its part, The Atlantic reported on Saturday that “Trump’s itinerary for his recent trip to the Middle East featured a glaring omission,” as the US president visited Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, but not the Zionist entity.
“By passing over the country, Trump gave a clear signal that Israel’s concerns are not his top priority in the Middle East, and perhaps haven’t been for some time,” the Atlantic reported.
