Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with President Donald Trump in Washington to discuss a second phase of the ceasefire with Hamas. The talks come as Netanyahu seeks to secure a 'victory over Hamas', address Iran's influence, and secure the release of all hostages. The initial ceasefire, brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, is set to expire next month.
Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu . Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to begin talks Monday on brokering a second phase of the ceasefire with Hamas , his office said, as he visits the new Trump administration in Washington.
He was welcomed to the US capital on Sunday night by Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon, who stressed the coming Trump-Netanyahu meeting would strengthen"the deep alliance between Israel and the United States and will enhance our cooperation". The next stage is expected to cover the release of the remaining captives and to include discussions on a more permanent end to the war.
The truce has also led to a surge of food, fuel, medical and other aid into rubble-strewn Gaza, while displaced Palestinians have been allowed to begin returning to the north. While Trump's predecessor Joe Biden sustained Washington's military and diplomatic backing of Israel, it also distanced itself from the mounting death toll and aid restrictions.In one of his first acts back in office, he lifted sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinians and reportedly approved a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs that the Biden administration had blocked.
