"MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: There is a lot left to do on President Trump's 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza. LEILA FADEL, HOST: Yeah. He still needs to appoint what he's calling a Board of Peace and get an international force up and running. And there are still pretty regular and fatal attacks in Gaza. But Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Trump in Florida today and trying to get him focused on some other things, like Iran and its proxies."
"KELEMEN: Yeah, they're in Stage 1 - the shaky ceasefire and getting more aid in. Israel has set up what it calls a yellow line, so it controls a large part of Gaza and it does strike across that yellow line when it sees threats. Now, the deal was that they would go to Phase 2 once all the Israeli hostages are out, but there is still the body of one Israeli police officer who was killed in the October 7 attack."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet President Trump in Florida to seek support on Gaza, Iran, and regional security. The Gaza peace plan remains in Stage 1 with a shaky ceasefire and efforts to increase aid. Israel maintains a "yellow line" control across much of Gaza and conducts strikes when it perceives threats. Phase 2 of the plan was contingent on release of all Israeli hostages; one police officer's body remains unrecovered. Israel insists the plan should not advance until the body is returned and Hamas agrees to disarm. Hezbollah in Lebanon is cited as an ongoing threat.
