- On July 7, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met US President Donald Trump at a White House dinner in Washington, DC.

- The meeting and ongoing talks highlight persistent tensions and complex challenges in resolving the Gaza conflict and Palestinian statehood aspirations amid high civilian casualties and security concerns.
