20 May 2025
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First, a bombshell report out of the Washington Post is claiming that the Trump administration has threatened to abandon Israel if they do not end the war in Gaza. But the White House is pushing back, calling the claim “absurd.” We’ll have the details. Later in the show—despite President Trump’s efforts to broker ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, the war shows no signs of slowing. Ukraine and Russia accused each other of launching fresh drone attacks overnight, just hours after Trump spoke directly with Vladimir Putin about reviving direct talks between Kyiv and Moscow.

Es ist Dienstag, der 20. Mai. Willkommen bei der PDB-Afternoon Bulletin. Ich bin Mike Baker, eure Augen und Ohren auf der Welt-Stage. Okay, lasst uns kurz sprechen. Zuerst einmal, ein Bombshell-Report aus dem Washington Post, der behauptet, dass die Trump-Administration die Israel-Frage verhindert, wenn sie den Krieg in Gaza nicht beenden.
Aber die White House drückt zurück, bezeichnend den Begriff als absurd. Wir haben die Details. Später in der Show, trotz des Efforts der Trump-Administration, die Kriegsverhandlungen zwischen der Ukraine und Russland zu verkaufen, zeigt die Krieg, naja, keine Zeichen des Entspannens.
Die Ukraine und Russland haben sich geglaubt, dass sie frische Drohnen-Attacken über Nacht eröffnen, nur Stunden nachdem Trump direkt mit Putin darüber gesprochen hat, die direkten Gespräche zwischen Kiew und Moskau zu überwachen. Aber zuerst, heute's Afternoon Spotlight.
The White House is slamming an anonymously sourced report from the Washington Post, claiming that President Trump has threatened to, quote, abandon Israel if they don't end the war in Gaza. Oh, look, an entire story based on an anonymous source. There is rigorous, objective journalism at its finest.
The source told the Post that there is a growing fissure between the Trump administration and Israeli leaders, particularly over the ongoing fight against Hamas in Gaza and Israel's expanded ground operations that began this weekend in the battered enclave. The report claims that the president has been steadily increasing pressure on the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu
and even threatened to leave Israel, isolated on the international stage, if they don't change course. The source said, quote, Trump has been letting Israel know, we will abandon you if you do not end this war, end quote.
Well, the White House did not take too kindly to the allegations, with multiple administration officials denying the report as a baseless attempt to drive a wedge between the US and Israel, which have enjoyed a particularly close relationship since Trump returned to the Oval Office. One official bluntly told the Jerusalem Post, "...that is a lie. The idea that we would abandon Israel is absurd."
Nun, US-National Security Council Sprecher James Hewitt sagte später in einer israelischen Publikation, Quote, Israel hat nie einen besseren Freund in der Geschichte als Präsident Trump. Nun, obwohl, um ehrlich zu sein, Moses ein ziemlich solider Freund war.
