Netanyahu to Meet Trump in U.S. Monday: Israeli Official

Netanyahu aims to secure US support for a tough stance on Hamas and advance Gaza ceasefire phase two amid slow progress and regional security concerns, officials say.

  • On Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, will meet Donald Trump, US President, at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the Gaza peace process.
  • Trump's team says Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed the Gaza ceasefire framework, and some in the Trump administration, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, no longer favour him as he tries to persuade a `one-man audience`.
  • Envoys Witkoff and Kushner coordinated with Qatar, Egypt and Turkey recently to advance phase two, requiring Hamas to hand over weapons and Israeli forces to pull back as Netanyahu expressed scepticism about Gaza demilitarisation.
  • Agenda includes West Bank stability and adherence to ceasefire terms as Donald Trump, US President, will raise Palestinian Authority collapse fears, settler violence, withheld tax revenues, and White House officials warn Israeli Defence Forces commanders are `trigger-happy`.
  • The meeting's outcome could feed into planned January diplomacy at Davos, where Washington is considering a Trump-led Board of Peace and Donald Trump plans major Gaza announcements to begin 2026.
