It’s actually illegal for people who aren’t currently the president to negotiate as if they were.

Declaring your intent to create an executive order the next day is not a negotiation

He's bragged several times that he saved TikTok. Trump also said the Israeli peace deal wouldn't have happened with him, which is an admission of breaking the law that states you cannot act as president without being president.

But Trump already knows he is above the law, so none of this matters.

Israel already broke the peace deal btw, but as with a lot of Israel news, you'll be unlikely to see that reported on.

That does not take away the fact that Trump was directly negotiating with Netanyahu before even won reelection.
