The rift between the US and Israel over the Gaza plan could undermine the fragile ceasefire and increase geopolitical risk in the Middle East, potentially affecting oil prices and regional stability. Markets may react to any escalation in the conflict, with defense and energy sectors particularly sensitive.

Event Summary

US President Donald Trump insisted on Monday that his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is 'very good' despite Netanyahu's rejection of a US-led Gaza plan. The plan, part of a US-brokered ceasefire announced in October, calls for Israel to begin withdrawing forces in tandem with Hamas disarmament. Netanyahu's rejection follows over a week of escalating criticism and comes as he faces a tight election on October 27. The Gaza plan is unpopular with his right-wing base, and far-right cabinet members urged him to oppose it. The disagreement adds to earlier strains over the Iran war, which Trump and Netanyahu jointly launched in late February but diverged on as Trump sought a ceasefire. Israeli operations in Gaza have reportedly killed over 1,250 Palestinians since the ceasefire, according to Gaza's health ministry, while the Israeli army reports five deaths.
