Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House this week as former U.S. President Donald Trump intensifies his push for a Gaza ceasefire. According to JTA, the meeting will focus on efforts to end the ongoing conflict while addressing broader regional security concerns, including tensions with Iran.

Trump has publicly called for a ceasefire in Gaza but remains vague about how the U.S. would enforce or mediate any agreement. Israeli officials said the visit is critical for coordinating diplomatic efforts, military strategies, and negotiating terms that protect Israel’s security.

The visit comes as pressure mounts from international allies and American Jewish leaders, many of whom are urging both Trump and Netanyahu to prioritize humanitarian relief without compromising Israel’s right to self-defense.

Observers note that this meeting could shape the next phase of U.S.-Israel relations amid the broader Middle East crisis. It also signals that diplomatic channels are still very much active—even as the situation on the ground remains volatile.
