Donald Trump has officially invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a White House visit on February 4, marking his first foreign leader engagement in his second term. The meeting aims to foster discussions on peace initiatives for Israel and its neighboring regions, as well as to address shared adversaries. The invitation follows Trump lifting a ban on supplying Israel with heavy munitions. However, the backdrop is fraught as concerns persist about the stability of the ceasefire in Gaza, following prolonged conflict and the potential for renewed violence.
Trump suggested a more aggressive stance towards Gaza, implying that over 1.5 million Palestinians might need to be relocated to other Arab countries.
Amid ongoing tensions, Trump affirmed Netanyahu's visit as a diplomatic milestone, emphasizing Israel's importance as a close ally despite international criticisms.
