Trump pressure could force end to Gaza conflict, as in Iran — but no sign he wants to
With hostilities in Israel’s conflict with Iran coming to a halt following US pressure, attention is shifting back to the ongoing bloodshed in Gaza, and with it the question of whether Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu could be pressured to change course there.
Mairav Zonszein, a senior Israel analyst with International Crisis Group, tells Al Jazeera that “if Trump wants to, he can get Netanyahu to stop this war”.
But so far, the US had given Israel weapons and impunity “to do whatever it wants” in Gaza.
“I don’t see a US president stopping that, unless he has interests that directly conflict,” she said.
“But for now, with Trump, he’s allowing Israel carte blanche.”

WATCH: ‘Iran may pursue nuclear path as new deterrence after US-Israel attacks’
In an Al Jazeera interview, Alan Eyre, a former US Department of State official now with the Middle East Institute, warned that Trump’s claim of obliterating Iran’s nuclear programme lacks verification.
He noted Israel’s ceasefire is temporary, with attacks likely to resume if US-Iran talks progress.
Eyre doubted Tehran would accept Washington’s “maximalist” terms, viewing them as surrender amid strategic weakness, and criticised Trump’s rushed diplomacy, stressing nuclear deals take years, not months.

Netanyahu cannot sideline hardliners on Gaza despite public support over Iran
The offensive against Iran may have given Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a political boost at home, but it doesn’t allow him to ignore his hardline allies who are pushing for a long-term military occupation of Gaza, an analyst says.
Rami Khouri, a fellow at the American University of Beirut, told Al Jazeera that despite the offensive against Iran being broadly supported in Israel, it has not freed Netanyahu’s hand to shut out his hardliners in his approach to Gaza.
“I don’t think he can ignore them,” said Khouri. “He’s hashed out a very delicate balance.
“He gains a little bit of popularity because of what he did in Iran, it makes them feel good in Israel. But they understand very clearly, those who follow the facts, that neither in Gaza nor the West Bank nor in Iran has Israel achieved any of its major war aims.”
After the ceasefire with Tehran was announced, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a hawkish member of Netanyahu’s cabinet, said Israel must now turn “with all our strength to Gaza, to complete the task: To destroy Hamas and return our hostages.”

Bernie Sanders praises NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani’s stand on Palestine
In an opinion piece, US Senate Democrat Bernie Sanders said New York City’s mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, won his primary race by building a “grassroots movement” and by not shying away from controversial issues, including Palestine.
“He [Mamdani] did not run away from the moral issue that is troubling millions in New York and around the country: the need to end US military support for a right-wing extremist Benjamin Netanyahu government in Israel that is obliterating the people of Gaza and starving their children,” Sanders said.
“Mamdani understands that antisemitism is a disgusting and dangerous ideology, but that it is not antisemitic to be critical of the inhumane policies of the Netanyahu government,” he said.
If elected mayor in November, Mamdani would make history by becoming the first Muslim American to lead the country’s largest and richest city.
Could Zohran Mamdani be NYC’S first Muslim and Indian American mayor?https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/26/live-israel-kills-over-80-in-gaza-3-killed-in-israeli-settler-attackhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/26/live-israel-kills-over-80-in-gaza-3-killed-in-israeli-settler-attack
