"On Gaza: Trump told Netanyahu he should be "a better partner" in implementing the peace agreement. Netanyahu said he's doing the best he can, the U.S. officials said.
Trump asked Netanyahu why Israel was killing the Hamas militants trapped in tunnels in the Israeli-controlled areas of Gaza rather than letting them surrender.
The Israeli prime minister pushed back and said it's because "they are armed and dangerous," the officials said.
The U.S. tried to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas whereby the trapped militants would receive amnesty if they surrendered. The Trump administration saw that as a potential model for disarming Hamas."
