US Reportedly Threatens to Abandon Israel Over Gaza Conflict
Some news says the US might stop helping Israel in the war in Gaza if they don't change how they're fighting.
A news source said that Trump and his administration warned Israel.
But others say this isn't true.
The US Ambassador to Israel said the story is wrong and the President wants the war to stop.
This disagreement is about what the US will do if the conflict in Gaza keeps going.
The Washington Post reported the Trump administration warned Israel it could lose US support.
The report cited an unnamed source familiar with the talks.
US Ambassador to Israel and a senior US official denied the report.
The White House stated President Trump wants the conflict to end.
The reported pressure increased after Israel increased airstrikes in Gaza.
