Trump and Netanyahu meet at White House as pressure mounts to end war in Gaza
""I am. I'm very confident," Mr Trump said."
""Ultimately the president knows when you get to a good deal, both sides are going to leave a little bit unhappy," Ms Leavitt told reporters. "But we need this conflict to end.""
""Netanyahu might have to choose between Trump and his coalition members," a number of whom want the war to continue, Mr Gilboa said."
Israel faces growing international isolation as support from longtime allies declines. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leads a fragile coalition that risks political instability if he accedes to pressure to end the Gaza war. The White House has displayed impatience and urged both sides to finalize an agreement to end the nearly two-year conflict. President Donald Trump said he was confident a deal to stop fighting with Hamas would be reached soon. Trump and Netanyahu met with aides in the Oval Office ahead of a planned joint press conference. Analysts warn Netanyahu may have to choose between US pressure and coalition hard-liners before upcoming elections.
