Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, met several times with President Trump, amid rising hopes of a cease-fire in Gaza, but there are still obstacles to a truce with Hamas.

Israeli strikes reportedly kill dozens as Trump pushes for a Gaza ceasefire with Israel's visiting leader — which can't come soon enough for Palestinians, and many Israelis.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attended a memorial service for two slain Israeli Embassy staffers at the end of his trip to Washington.

Prime Minister later derailed Biden's Saudi normalization initiative due to similar threat by Ben Gvir to bring down government as result of 'reckless deal,' according to NYT exposé The post Netanyahu said to have shelved April 2024 Gaza truce after Smotrich threat to government appeared first on The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu said his meeting with Trump focused on freeing hostages in Gaza, and stressed his determination to "eliminate" the capabilities of Hamas.

Hospital officials say Israeli airstrikes killed at least 40 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including 10 from the same family who were sheltering in a tent.

President Trump’s push for a ceasefire in Gaza is testing his bond with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which was on full display this week during the Israeli leader’s third visit to Washington this year.

President Donald Trump’s foreign envoy Steve Witkoff said Tuesday that he’s hopeful to have a Gaza ceasefire deal by the end of the week, as negotiators make substantial progress working through remaining issues.

An independent U.N. investigator and outspoken critic of Israel’s actions in Gaza said “it was shocking” to learn that the Trump administration had imposed sanctions on her.
