US President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu's High-Stakes Meeting: A Look at the Gaza Peace Plan
US President Donald Trump is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House to discuss a Gaza peace plan. Trump believes a deal is close after talks with Arab leaders, while Netanyahu remains skeptical. The Israeli leader has vowed to continue the fight against Hamas and opposes a Palestinian state. Trump has shown signs of frustration with Netanyahu's actions, and the outcome of the meeting will depend on the pressure he puts on the Israeli prime minister. A potential 21-point deal led by the US includes disarming Hamas, releasing hostages, and a ceasefire. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair may lead a transitional authority for Gaza under the US proposals. Netanyahu rejects the idea of the Palestinian Authority governing Gaza and doubts its reform. The war in Gaza was sparked by a deadly attack by Hamas, leading to a high number of casualties on both sides. The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu will be closely watched for any progress towards peace in Gaza.
