Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Netanyahu Prepares for Trump Meeting With Fragile Grip on Power

Buoyed by the instrumental role his envoy Steve Witkoff played in negotiating the first phase of the ceasefire days before he took the oath of office, President Trump will enter Tuesday’s White House meeting intent on continuing on a pathway to free all remaining hostages and end the conflict in Gaza.

Netanyahu is in Washington for talks with the new Trump administration on a second, longer-term phase of Israel's fragile truce with the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has not yet been finalized.
