Netanyahu Walks Tightrope on Trump’s Gaza Disarmament Deal

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is months away from his first national elections since the Hamas-led attack on Israel, faces an increasingly difficult challenge: how to placate President Trump, his most important ally, without alienating voters in his right-wing base. That challenge was on full display after Mr. Trump announced last month that his Board of Peace had reached an agreement to disarm Hamas. The deal was quickly met by Israeli skepticism.
