U.S. President Donald Trump has criticised both Israel and Iran for violating the ceasefire agreement but expressed stronger disapproval toward Israel’s actions, urging an immediate halt to airstrikes.
“I’m really unhappy with Israel,” Trump said in a statement on Monday. “Stop dropping bombs. Bring your pilots home, now!”
The remarks mark a notable shift in tone from the White House, which had previously maintained firm support for Israel throughout the conflict. Trump’s comments come as international pressure mounts on both sides to de-escalate hostilities and honor ceasefire commitments.
While acknowledging that Iran also breached the ceasefire, Trump’s direct rebuke of Israeli military operations signals growing frustration in Washington over the prolonged violence and its humanitarian toll.
