Trump Invites Israel's Netanyahu for White House Meeting Next Week

President Donald Trump has extended an invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit the White House on February 4, 2025, marking Netanyahu’s first trip to meet with Trump during his second term. This visit comes amid ongoing international pressure for both Israel and Hamas to maintain a ceasefire that has halted a brutal 15-month conflict in Gaza. Talks on the more challenging second phase of the ceasefire are set to begin the following week.

The meeting offers Netanyahu an opportunity to highlight the longstanding U.S.-Israel relationship and his strong support from Trump, especially as the Israeli leader faces mounting domestic challenges. In the White House letter, Trump emphasized the importance of discussing peace efforts in the region and strategies to counter common adversaries. Netanyahu is also expected to advocate for continued U.S. military aid, particularly in securing weapon deliveries that may have been delayed under the Biden administration.

This meeting underscores Israel’s position as the largest recipient of U.S. military aid, a critical part of its defense strategy, and offers Netanyahu a chance to reinforce his stance on Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
