GB News halted in devastating blow to Trump

Donald Trump quietly hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago resort this week, but the meeting raised more questions than answers even among conservative media.

On GB News, morning hosts Eamonn Holmes and Penny Smith described the meeting as underwhelming and oddly opaque for something billed as diplomatically significant. US political commentator Jennifer Ewing pointed out that the timing itself was striking, coming immediately after Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to Ewing, the back-to-back meetings appeared less like strategic diplomacy and more like a political attempt to project relevance before the new year. Trump has long branded himself as a “peace president,” but the reality, she noted, is far more complicated. The United States remains deeply entangled in both Ukraine and Gaza two conflicts Trump repeatedly promised to end, yet never clearly explained how.

What stood out most was the lack of transparency. Despite the scale of the Netanyahu meeting, there were no concrete announcements, no detailed roadmap, and no clarity on next steps. As Ewing observed, major unresolved issues remain untouched:

Who is responsible for disarming Hamas?

When does Phase Two of the Gaza ceasefire plan actually begin?

And what, if anything, was agreed behind closed doors?

Her conclusion was blunt and damaging: far more questions were left unanswered than resolved.

The meeting also comes as US officials continue pushing Israel to make concessions to advance the second phase of a proposed Gaza peace framework a reality that clashes with Trump’s public tough-talk messaging.

Speaking to reporters afterward, Trump issued another vague threat, warning that Hamas would face “hell to pay” if it failed to disarm, insisting an agreement already exists. Yet once again, no evidence, timeline, or enforcement mechanism was provided. The rhetoric was loud, but the substance was thin.

This pattern has become familiar. Big statements. Dramatic language. Minimal detail. Whether it’s Ukraine, Gaza, or global diplomacy, Trump consistently promises decisive action while leaving allies, critics, and even conservative commentators wondering what actually happened in the room.

If this was meant to showcase leadership or progress toward peace, the silence afterward told a very different story one of uncertainty, confusion, and unanswered questions at a moment when clarity matters most.
