Netanyahu to Meet Trump on December 29

Netanyahu and Trump will discuss unresolved Gaza ceasefire issues including Hamas disarmament and international security force amid hesitations from troop-contributing countries.

  • On Dec 29, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump in the United States, Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian said in an online briefing.
  • The Prime Minister's Office said on Dec 1 that President Trump invited Netanyahu, and Netanyahu said on Dec 7 he would discuss the plan's second phase after a ceasefire began in October.
  • They will discuss the international stabilization force and next steps, while wide gaps remain on Hamas disarmament and post-war Gaza governance, complicating negotiations.
  • This visit would be the fifth time this year Mr Trump hosts Netanyahu in the US, after four earlier White House meetings, with Israeli media saying it may take place at Mar-a-Lago resort, Florida.
  • Countries initially willing to volunteer troops are now hesitant due to mission ambiguity and fears their soldiers could end up fighting Hamas, while Hamas says it will only disarm as part of a process toward a Palestinian state and may consider 'freezing or storing' its weapons.
