Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump are meeting to discuss key Middle East issues. Both leaders have celebrated their joint actions, including strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, as successes. However, unresolved challenges remain, especially Israel’s 21-month war with Hamas in Gaza. Trump is pushing for a ceasefire, which could lead to a halt in fighting, aid for Gaza and the release of hostages. Hamas demands an Israeli withdrawal, while Netanyahu insists on Hamas disarming. Trump also aims to revive his regional peace vision, including expanding the Abraham Accords. Ending the Gaza war could be crucial to achieving these broader goals.
