President Donald Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill are keeping their criticism of Israel for its conduct in the Gaza Strip measured — even as they faced loud pressure from the MAGA base to rethink their support for Israel amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in the enclave.

Israel could also go back to the negotiating table and try to do a deal that would end the war entirely. But that might mean pulling back on some of its core demands that Hamas completely surrender its arms. It would be short of the “total victory” Netanyahu has promised.
