US President Donald Trump is "fustrated" by Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, Axios reported on Tuesday.
“The president is frustrated about what is happening in Gaza. He wants the war to end, he wants the hostages to come home, he wants aid to go in and he wants to start rebuilding Gaza,” Axios reported, citing a White House official.
The official added that Trump believes Gaza is the last roadblock to "prosperity" in the Middle East.
Another official told Axios that the US agreed to a bilateral deal with Hamas for a dual US-Israeli captive, out of frustration with Israel.
