As president, Donald Trump went well beyond his predecessors in fulfilling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's top wishes from the United States. Yet by the time Trump left the White House, relations between the two had broken down after Netanyahu rapidly congratulated Joe Biden on his 2020 presidential victory.
Trump's meeting with Netanyahu could position him as a key ally and statesman, enhancing the Republican image as the most Israel-supportive party, amidst increasing divisions in U.S. bipartisan backing.
Netanyahu's priority to mend ties with Trump is crucial, particularly with the latter potentially returning to office, being Israel's primary arms supplier and protector.
The meeting at Mar-a-Lago aims to portray both leaders as impactful figures on the global stage, but potential differences, such as Trump's Gaza war stance, could escalate tensions.
