President Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a meeting on February 4, marking the first foreign dignitary visit since his inauguration. The discussions are set against a backdrop of a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which follows a lengthy conflict and significant casualties on both sides. While Trump has suggested that Egypt and Jordan accommodate Palestinians temporarily, those nations, along with Palestinian leadership, have rejected the proposal, fearing a repeat of historical displacements. This meeting has raised questions about future Middle Eastern policies and international responses to ongoing conflicts.
The White House letter shared by Netanyahu's office mentioned that President Trump was eager to discuss bringing peace to Israel and its neighbors.
Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, yet is the first foreign leader to visit Trump post-inauguration, highlighting complex geopolitical tensions.
