- The White House is tolerating Netanyahu's rejection of its Gaza peace plan, with Politico framing the pattern as a familiar "two-step" maneuver
- Netanyahu has calculated that upsetting Trump is his "least-bad option," per CNN, as the Board of Peace and Trump's Gaza plan face a ticking clock according to the Hill
