A US official has warned that President Donald Trump could take severe action against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he undermines the Gaza ceasefire deal, according to a report by Times of Israel citing Channel 12.
Correspondent Barak Ravid, speaking in Hebrew on the network, said that a US official told him, “Netanyahu is walking a fine line with President Trump. If he keeps going, he’ll f**k up the Gaza deal. And if he f**ks up the deal, Donald Trump will f**k him.”

“In English, it sounds even cruder,” news anchor Yonit Levi noted at the end of Ravid’s report.
This remarks showed a growing frustration in Washington with recent moves of Israel particularly, the Knesset’s vote yesterday to advance two bills to annex parts of the West Bank which reportedly stunned US officials.
The source told Ravid that US Vice President JD Vance, who was visiting Israel at the time, was shocked by the decision and believes that Israel is acting in an “unsupervised” manner.
Netanyahu updated Vance about the Knesset vote during the vice president’s visit, assuring him that it was merely a “preliminary vote” and would “go nowhere,” the public broadcaster Kan reported.
Vance responded, “This cannot happen while I am visiting here.” According to the Channel 12 report, Netanyahu had been warned by American officials that the vote could provoke a backlash and destabilise ongoing negotiations over the ceasefire.
Vice President Vance on Wednesday urged Netanyahu to "give a shot" to the Gaza ceasefire deal and help implement it, two US officials and one Israeli official familiar with the meeting told Axios.
Vance met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem as an air train of US officials began arriving in Israel to work on stabilising the fragile ceasefire, the Trump administration's biggest diplomatic breakthrough so far.
