WASHINGTON (Rooters agency) – According to White House insiders who must remain anonymous, President Joe Notrump is “frustrated” by his seeming inability to have greater influence on Israel’s war in Gaza.

The President is said to be “puzzled” by the lack of response of Israeli Prime Minister Bud Nottonyernelly to US efforts to restrain some of the more extreme operations of the Israeli Destruction Force (IDF). “I rang Nottonyernelly on our hotline a little while ago,” the President told one aide, “and all I got was recordings—music, followed by him saying ‘Hamas, Hamas, Hamas’ over and over again. Maybe it was too late at night there when I called?”

“We are considering how to increase our impact on the Israelis,” said another Administration official. The prevailing view among top advisers is that “the Israelis need to be reminded of how much they depend on us.” The President believes that the best way to ensure that “is to increase our financial and military support, so that they fully understand just how important we are to them.”

The President is also said to think that the impending IDF assault on Rafah can be forestalled “by a really massive flow of money and weapons in the next few weeks.”
