"President Trump is expected to press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a new plan to end the war in Gaza during a meeting at the White House on Monday. The high-stakes meeting comes as the two-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel draws closer and as a growing list of nations recognized Palestinian statehood last week during the United Nations General Assembly. Trump and Netanyahu are slated to hold a press conference at 1:15 p.m. ET."
"Trump has also raised expectations for an agreement, even before Israel and Hamas have signed off. "I think we have a deal," Trump told reporters on Friday. The multiple-point proposal the U.S. shared with regional partners would end Israel's war in the territory, boost aid to Gaza and require Hamas to release remaining Israeli hostages within 48 hours. A coalition of international partners would supervise the reconstruction of Gaza, a source familiar with the plans told NPR."
President Trump will press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a U.S. plan to end the war in Gaza during a White House meeting. The meeting occurs as the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack approaches and after a wave of UN General Assembly recognitions of Palestinian statehood. Trump supports Israel, demands Hamas release all Israeli hostages held since Oct. 7, and has warned that recognizing Palestinian statehood rewards Hamas. The U.S. proposal would end the war, boost Gaza aid, require remaining hostages' release within 48 hours, and place reconstruction under an international coalition. Trump has grown frustrated with Netanyahu amid ongoing conflict.
