Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump are set to meet for the third time this year. Among the issues for discussion: Israels 21-month war against Hamas in Gaza and questions over how hard Trump will push for an end to the conflict. Trump has made clear that following the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, he would like to see the Gaza conflict end soon. The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu could give new urgency to a U.S. ceasefire proposal being discussed by Israel and Hamas, but whether it leads to a deal that ends the war is unclear.

The Senate parliamentarian has advised that a Medicaid provider tax overhaul central to President Donald Trumps tax cut and spending bill doesnt adhere to the chambers procedural rules, delivering a crucial blow as Republicans rush to finish the package this week. Republicans were counting on big cuts to Medicaid and other programs to offset trillions of dollars in Trump tax breaks, their top priority. The attention falling on Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonoughs ruling reflects a broader change in Congress: Lawmakers are increasingly trying to wedge top policy priorities into bills that cant be filibustered.

In the span of about eight hours, President Donald Trump went from suggesting a nuclear deal with Iran remained achievable to urging Tehrans 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut his visit to the international G7 summit short to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team. Trump appears to be gradually building the public case for a more direct American role in the conflict. His shift in tone comes as the U.S. has repositioned warships and military aircraft in the region to respond if the conflict between Israel and Iran further escalates.
