Netanyahu Heads to Washington for High-Stakes Talks with Trump
Anewz
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to bolster ties following recent tensions over the Gaza conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for Washington on Sunday (February 2) to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to strengthen bilateral ties following strained relations with the previous White House administration over the Gaza conflict.
Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to visit Trump since his inauguration last month, travels as a fragile ceasefire in Gaza holds, with negotiations for a second phase set to begin this week.
Speaking at the airport before departure, Netanyahu emphasized the impact of Israel’s military actions, stating, "The decisions we made in the war have already changed the face of the Middle East. Our choices and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. With President Trump’s cooperation, we can reshape it even further for the better."
The visit also comes as Netanyahu faces legal challenges, including an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
