I doubt that Israel agreed because Trump asked. Israel agreed because TRUMP asked. Because Nethanyahu doesn't want to bother with consequences, he is more than happy to give the impression that another dictator is actually better than the democratic guy.

It's about framing of people and political mindsets, not about resolving the conflict. The ethical baseline in this conflict, it's about withdrawal to international borders, rebuilding of the region and the creating an envir worthy of living for those who where born there and where radicalized through suffering.

The same will happen with Putin in my opinion. He will agree to a ceasefire and "negotiate piece" with unacceptable conditions (borders, no return of kidnapped children, no reparations).

This isn't a strategic play that neither Putin nor Nethanyahu nor Trump can do because they is powerfull, but because the other side is weak or doesn't even exist anymore.

Or Biden could have, even a single time, refrained from handing them billions of dollars of bombs and missiles.

But he didn't, because he didn't want to, because Biden is a rabid hardcore Zionist who wants the Palestinian people exterminated just as much as Netanyahu, and was hiding behind the pathetic excuse of "Oh, he's just so mean and won't listen to me! There's nothing I can do! Oops, I just gave him another $8 billion!"

And now Trump has demonstrated that was all a lie, and that the instant its master demands it, the attack dog is called to heel.

I think Trump has made it clear in some way that the US isn't interested in endlessly funding wars abroad (at least to the tune that Netanyahu would want). But otherwise I'm sure he's otherwise happy for Israel to do whatever else it wants to do in the west bank
