Netanyahu, Trump Reportedly Plan Gaza Ceasefire, Expand Abraham Accords

U.S. President Donald Trump is actively urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the 20-month conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, following recent U.S. strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. The two leaders reportedly discussed a comprehensive peace plan that includes a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and an expansion of the Abraham Accords to potentially include Saudi Arabia and Syria, with Israel supporting a future Palestinian state under certain conditions. Netanyahu described the victory over Iran as opening a significant opportunity to dramatically widen peace agreements, emphasizing the urgency of not wasting this window. Negotiations have yet to yield a breakthrough, with mediators calling for more serious engagement from both sides. Some Israeli far-right ministers oppose concessions, advocating for permanent control of Gaza, which Netanyahu has rejected. Discussions are also underway regarding a potential Netanyahu visit to the White House to further these diplomatic efforts.
