  "account": "On Monday, US President Donald Trump maintained that his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains very good, despite Netanyahu's rejection of a US-led Gaza plan. The President's response came after a journalist shouted a question at him during an Oval Office event. In the past week, Netanyahu had increasingly criticized the Gaza plan, which proposed Israel's withdrawal of forces alongside Hamas' disarmament. This marked Netanyahu's stance against the plan, which was introduced after a week of escalating criticism.\n\nNetanyahu, who has held the position of Israel's longest-serving leader, finds himself in a tight spot ahead of the upcoming October 27 elections. Recent polls indicate that he is either neck and neck or trailing in various polls, marking Israel's first election since the devastating 2023 attack by Hamas that triggered the Gaza war. The Gaza plan has been met with widespread unpopularity among Netanyahu's right-wing base. Furthermore, several members of his cabinet, who are part of the far-right, have advocated for Netanyahu to scrap the plan altogether.",
