Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is set to meet with President Donald Trump to discuss issues including tariffs, the war in Gaza, Israel-Turkey relations, Iran, and the International Criminal Court. Netanyahu, who has often aligned himself with the Republican Party, is enjoying a close relationship with Trump, who shares his criticisms of judges and other issues. The Trump administration has not imposed any restrictions on Israeli military campaigns, unlike previous administrations. While Trump’s proposal to displace the Palestinian population was met with criticism, Netanyahu praised him for addressing issues others avoid. Netanyahu’s base supports Trump, giving him leverage in negotiations with groups like Hamas. Despite their shared interests, there have been ups and downs in the relationship between the two leaders. As tensions rise in the Middle East, Trump’s support of Netanyahu could position the U.S. to take on a more significant role in the conflict. The meeting between Netanyahu and Trump is seen as an important step in ongoing negotiations and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
