US President Donald Trump has been increasing pressure on Israel over recent days, an anonymous source told The Washington Post on Monday.

“Trump has been letting Israel know ‘we will abandon you if you do not end this war,’” the source added, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.

The increase in pressure from Trump came after Israel called up tens of thousands of reservists and ramped up Gaza bombings, the Washington Post added.

    You should never trust anything coming out of Trump’s mouth and only look at his actions. Actually, that counts for all politicians.

    In this case, what is remarkable is that Trump did not visit Israel during his Middle East tour, which is basically unheard of for an American president.
