Despite Mr. Trump throwing his weight behind a push for a 60-day truce between Israel and Hamas, no breakthrough was announced during Mr. Netanyahu’s visit, a disappointment for a president who wants to be known as a peacemaker and has hinged his reputation on being a dealmaker.“He prides himself or being able to make deals, so this is another test case,” said…
