US official: Israelis nervous because they have lost control and have no cards to play

The Israelis are nervous and suspicious because they have lost control and no longer have any cards to play, a senior official told US media organisation Axios. 

US officials are desperate to avoid a resumption of the war in Gaza and see the security forces as an essential part of the solution, the report said. 

"It is better to move slow and get it right because we are not gonna have a second chance," the senior  official said. 

"The Turks were very helpful in getting the Gaza deal and Netanyahu's bashing Turkey has been very counterproductive," the US official said.
