The split, in one line

Coverage now splits between Trump's public restraint messaging and behind-scenes tensions with Netanyahu, with international outlets emphasizing Trump's dominance over Israeli escalation and Netanyahu's political humiliation, right-wing sources highlighting Trump-Netanyahu alignment, left-leaning outlets warning of fragile ceasefire collapse, and mainstream outlets stressing Israel's exclusion from U.S.-Iran diplomacy.
