Israeli media: Trump promises Netanyahu to violate nascent Gaza truce

US President-elect Donald Trump has promised to allow the Israeli regime's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to resume the campaign of genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip after signing a potential ceasefire deal with Hamas, according to Israeli media.

Ynetnews, citing a source familiar with the matter, reported on Tuesday that Trump has promised Netanyahu that if he agrees to a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli military forces from Gaza, he will support Tel Aviv retroactively if it decides to resume the war and violate the truce.

In a post on X, Palestinian journalist Muhammad Shehada also noted that in addition, Trump had promised Netanyahu to remove the sanctions on the controversial spyware company NSO Group, which has sold its Pegasus spyware, one of the world’s most notorious hacking tools, to several countries.

Trump’s “gift back” also allows the Israeli regime to continue with its land grab in the occupied West Bank, he added.

The latest development comes as a truce deal is currently being negotiated in the Qatari capital Doha to stop the genocidal war in Gaza and release the Israeli captives.

On Monday, US President Joe Biden said a Gaza ceasefire deal could be struck as early as this week, though the Israeli military continues to hammer the Palestinian coastal sliver to deadly effect.

On Tuesday, Majed al-Ansari, Qatari Foreign Minister spokesman, said that the Biden administration and incoming Trump administration have been fully involved in recent talks and are working "in tandem" to ensure a deal happens.

Israeli radio: Emerging Gaza ceasefire deal ‘complete failure’ for regime

The chairman of the Israeli Gevurah Forum has described a potential Gaza ceasefire as “a complete failure” for the Zionist entity.

Netanyahu has rejected a series of ceasefire proposals set before him, including one laid by the Biden administration in May 2024.

But public and diplomatic pressure has been mounting on the regime to reach a deal for securing the release of captives.

Palestinian resistance groups, for their part, have been displaying a willingness to make a deal.

Israel has slaughtered more than 46,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 2023.
