US Republican Rob Allitt said that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agree on the ultimate goal of Gaza, but there are clear differences on specific tactics to achieve the goal. Both leaders agree that Hamas cannot be responsible for security, military, or even political affairs in the Gaza Strip, but the difference lies in the order of steps. The problem is that Trump believes it is necessary to proceed in stages to gradually ease the situation and disarm, while Netanyahu disagrees with this approach. He wants Hamas to completely disarm before Israel takes action. Trump's position is partly due to considerations of his political legacy. He hopes not only to reach a peace agreement in the Gaza Strip, but also to reach an agreement on Iran and other issues. He wants to be remembered by the world and that history records him as a “peaceful president.” Domestic politics have complicated the positions of both leaders. Israel is about to hold elections, while the US is also facing midterm elections. But Netanyahu understood that Trump “took the initiative” in this relationship.
