The talks follow Trump’s recent statement expressing hope for a truce in Gaza within a week. A Trump administration official, speaking anonymously, verified the visit to AFP. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted Netanyahu had “expressed interest” in the meeting, adding both sides were finalizing arrangements.
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer will precede Netanyahu’s visit with preparatory discussions this week. Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to meet Trump in February, when the US president unexpectedly proposed America “take over” Gaza.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Israeli forces continue operations in Gaza, targeting Hamas. Gaza’s civil defence reported at least 51 fatalities on Monday, including 24 at a coastal rest area.
The conflict began after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, killing 1,219 people and taking 251 hostages. Israel’s response has resulted in over 56,531 deaths in Gaza, per the Hamas-run health ministry.
