Relations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have deteriorated to their lowest point, according to sources cited by Israel Hayom. The newspaper reports that Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu, feeling that the Israeli leader is not cooperating with U.S. initiatives in the Middle East, including efforts aimed at securing a Nobel Peace Prize.

Amidst this tension, Trump is scheduled to visit the Middle East next week, with stops planned in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The visit comes at a time when there are growing signs of friction between the U.S. and Israel, particularly over issues related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the broader Middle East peace process, and the U.S. engagement in talks with the Houthis and a potential nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia.

Reports suggest that the Trump administration is pressuring Israel to reach a deal with Hamas before the president's trip, amidst ongoing Iran talks. This pressure is part of a broader U.S. strategy to secure a ceasefire and prisoner exchange in Gaza, with negotiations being facilitated through Qatar. However, Israeli skepticism about Hamas's willingness to compromise remains a significant hurdle.
