I can't imagine Mr. Trump being blamed for something he didn't do.

That’s a bit of a stretch.
So, if the deal falls through, will he deserve the blame?
You don’t think that the weight of a Trump administration coming to power applies a little pressure?

To Iran? Sure. To Hamas? They’re already under maximum pressure

How does Trump coming to power apply pressure to Israel?

It does not, not in the least. If anything it provides a green light to Netanyahu that he can do as he wishes, unfettered, anywhere, anytime, throughout the Middle East.

Not support for Israel, but rather support for Netanyahu and his coalition.
Bite me.

Sure. The mostly symbolic cautions and scolding from the Biden administration aren’t going to repeat under Trump. But they had little practical impact on the ability of Israel to wage war on Hamas.

I believe it was reported that Biden received more Israel PAC support than anyone in government. Blinken is a dual Israeli/US citizen. Trump has acknowledged that Miriam Adlelson gave $100M to his campaign for support of Israel - so Israel's interests, which were never in doubt, are solid.

I call that a nibble. But I overall agree with what you wrote, symbolic cautions. Nary even a Yellow card.
From here on the Referee looks the other way.

The referee was always looking the other way, he just didn't want anyone to notice. Didn't work.

@George-K said in Hamas attacks Israel:
“We are the closest to a hostage deal since the last agreement.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Wednesday accused the Hamas terror group of lying about ongoing hostage-ceasefire negotiations and walking back terms it had agreed to, as renewed talks appeared to stall despite previous expressions of optimism by senior officials.
“The terrorist organization Hamas is lying again,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement, “reneging on the understandings already reached, and continuing to make it difficult for the negotiations.
“Nevertheless, Israel will continue tirelessly in its efforts to bring home all of our hostages,” the statement added.

I think Trump is pushing both parties, using carrots and sticks.
Next up, watch Iran. Some think we may try to shove the mullahs out of power, with a combination of new, strict financial sanctions and increased covert actions.

The carrot Israel is getting is a green light for attacking Iran. That’s the thing that will drive bibi to risk his government to accept the deal.
Strange times
