As the once-warm personal relationship between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has deteriorated, a source within Trump's inner circle claims the president's team is considering extending a White House invitation to Naftali Bennett, the former prime minister and Netanyahu's political rival. Their purpose is straightforward – to demonstrate to Netanyahu the depth of their growing frustration with him.

"Trump's people are letting Israel know, 'We will abandon you if you do not end this war,'" the anonymous insider revealed to The Washington Post. Pictured: Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Reuters/Hatem Khaled, Miriam Alster/Flash90, Reuters/Brian Snyder)

While such statements might simply be emotional venting, they clearly indicate shifting attitudes in Washington. Trump has generously replenished Israel's weapons stockpiles and has refrained from voicing any criticism against Israel until now. However, his patience appears to be running out. Consequently, if Israel intends to accomplish its military objectives and emerge victorious from the conflict, it must act swiftly and adjust its approach accordingly.

A senior American official explained to Israel Hayom, "This administration remains supportive, but we're not dealing with the same personnel as during the first term. Israel needs to recognize this reality." When contacted, the office of former prime minister responded, "We have no knowledge of any such approach."

The drums of war echo once again in the Levant, as Israel reportedly readies itself for a daring incursion into Lebanon. According to Germany's Bild newspaper, Israeli forces are set to launch a ground operation against Hezbollah in the waning days of July, a move that could reshape the region's fragile balance of power.

Unnamed diplomatic sources, speaking in hushed tones of an "extreme scenario," paint a picture of a nation steeling itself against Hezbollah's threats of "war without limits." One source, their words heavy with the weight of impending conflict, declared, "Israel's push into Lebanon looms closer than ever before. A date is set."

The specter of war has already begun to cast its long shadow. Lufthansa, Germany's venerable airline, announced Monday the suspension of its night flights to Beirut. This decision, a canary in the geopolitical coal mine, follows a stark warning from the German embassy urging its citizens to flee Lebanon's increasingly uncertain shores.

As tensions ratchet up, the international community holds its collective breath. U.S. intelligence agencies, their fingers on the pulse of the region, warn that barring a last-minute deal between Israel and Hamas, the probability of all-out war has reached a fever pitch, "higher than at any point in recent weeks."

In this high-stakes chess game of Middle Eastern politics, each move carries potentially catastrophic consequences. As Israel positions its pieces for what could be a decisive gambit, the world watches, wondering if this will be the spark that sets the entire region ablaze.
