Netanyahu Visits Trump February 4 Amid Fragile Gaza Ceasefire

President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on February 4, marking the first visit from a foreign leader in Trump's second term. This meeting follows a recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which paused a prolonged 15-month conflict in Gaza. Trump has lifted restrictions on military support to Israel and has suggested controversial plans for Gaza's future, including the relocation of Palestinians to neighboring countries. The ceasefire has allowed over 375,000 Palestinians to return to northern Gaza, where many are facing the daunting task of rebuilding in heavily damaged areas. Netanyahu's visit is seen as an opportunity to affirm the strong U.S.-Israel relationship amidst pressures for a lasting peace agreement. This meeting also comes at a time when Netanyahu is navigating political challenges at home.
