Netanyahu inches toward Gaza deal under pressure from Trump

The U.S. and Israel are nearing a potential agreement on President Trump’s Gaza peace plan, with an announcement expected after Trump meets Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.

Officials say negotiations have narrowed differences, though Hamas would still need to approve the deal.

The White House is pressuring Netanyahu to accept, warning he could be blamed for prolonging the war and worsening humanitarian conditions if he refuses.

Frustration with Netanyahu has grown among Trump’s advisers, who view him as focused on domestic politics and beholden to ultranationalist allies rather than peace efforts, Axios has reported.

The meeting could mark a turning point in Trump’s relationship with Netanyahu, as the administration seeks to showcase progress on ending the war and bolstering Trump’s Middle East credibility.
