Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to become the first foreign leader to meet President Donald Trump at the White House in his second term on Tuesday, at a critical juncture for the Gaza ceasefire.
On Monday, Netanyahu is due to have talks with the US Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, who emerged as a key mediator to secure the truce which began on 19 January.
Trump has made it clear that he wants an end to the wars in the Middle East. He said on Sunday that ceasefire negotiations were "progressing" and that some "big meetings" were scheduled with Netanyahu.
