Dear MEPIN readers,
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to wrap up the war in Gaza, conveying a clear message from President Trump. The pressure is growing—both from Washington and within Israel—to end the campaign.
Meanwhile, Israel’s image in America is deteriorating rapidly. Allegations that it is using starvation as a weapon, once confined to the political fringe, are now gaining mainstream traction. Only 12% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans currently support Israel—and those numbers are dropping.
Is it time for Israel to declare victory, secure the buffer zone and the Philadelphi Corridor, and withdraw from Gaza? But what about the hostages still in captivity?
Watch my interview to hear the complete analysis. — Eric
