Is Israel still independent? New poll says Trump’s US dictating Netanyahu’s every single Gaza move

The U.S. appears to be "babysitting" Netanyahu over the ceasefire deal in Gaza. A new Israeli poll reveals that 67% of Israelis believe Washington is directing the IDF’s Gaza operations, while nearly 69% say Israel has become a “client state” of the U.S. Despite strong denials from Prime Minister Netanyahu. Trump’s top officials, including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth have repeatedly flown to Israel to ensure compliance with the truce. Reports suggest that Trump personally intervened in key military decisions, including halting Israeli airstrikes and recalling missions targeting Iran. Experts warn the second phase of the Gaza deal, defining post-war governance and international security roles, could be far more difficult to manage. Has Trump’s “Bibi-sitting” made the U.S. the real power broker in the region?
