Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to try to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to allow strikes on Iran’s missile facilities, when the two meet today in Florida.
Netanyahu sees Iran’s expansion of its ballistic missile programme as a threat and intends to seek either U.S. approval for strikes by the Israeli military or direct involvement by American armed forces.
Iran has previously called Israeli strikes as an act of aggression or violation of international law, threatening retaliation.
The Israeli prime minister will also seek to convince Trump to adopt a tougher stance on the Gaza Strip and to secure guarantees for the forceful disarmament of Hamas units before Israeli troops withdraw from parts of the enclave designated under the second phase of Trump’s peace plan.
It is deemed that Netanyahu is unlikely to achieve his objectives, as the U.S. president is currently focused on avoiding further escalation in the Middle East and continuing to pursue his own peace agenda.
The U.S. has been Israel’s strongest military and political backer throughout the two years of the Gaza war.
