Netanyahu's Mar-a-Lago visit "crucial" for future of Gaza deal
"The White House wants to unveil a Palestinian technocratic government and International Stabilization Force for Gaza as soon as possible, and potentially even convene the Trump-led Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos later in January, White House officials say."
"It’s a crucial meeting. It is not clear whether Trump is in the same place Witkoff and Kushner are,"
"Bibi is trying to convince a one-man audience. The question is whether Trump will side with him or with his top advisers when it comes to Gaza. Who knows what Trump will choose?"
"It's J.D., Marco, Jared, Steve, Susie. He has lost them. The only one he has left is the president, who still likes him, but even he wants to see the Gaza deal moving faster than it is right now,"
The White House plans to unveil a Palestinian technocratic government and an International Stabilization Force for Gaza and may convene a Trump-led Board of Peace in Davos. Envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner are coordinating with Egypt, Qatar and Turkey to finalize agreements and prepare phase two, which would require Hamas to hand over weapons and Israeli forces to pull back. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed skepticism, particularly about demilitarization, complicating implementation. A meeting between President Trump and Netanyahu is pivotal because Netanyahu’s buy-in is necessary. Senior U.S. advisers are frustrated by Israeli actions that risk undermining the ceasefire.
