U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a meeting at the White House on Tuesday, a U.S. official confirmed. The discussions come amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza following 15 months of conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The meeting, announced by both governments earlier this week, is scheduled for February 4. A U.S. official stated that it will be a single working session, with further details to be provided soon.
This high-level discussion takes place as tensions remain high despite the six-week ceasefire, which has temporarily halted hostilities. Analysts speculate that the meeting could address regional security, U.S.-Israel relations, and broader Middle East policy.
Both leaders have maintained strong diplomatic ties, with the Trump administration previously recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and supporting Israeli security efforts. The upcoming meeting is expected to reinforce their partnership and discuss ongoing geopolitical challenges.
The ceasefire has allowed humanitarian aid to reach Gaza, but uncertainties remain regarding its longevity. Netanyahu's visit to Washington underscores the importance of continued U.S. support amid the complex dynamics in the region.
