Trump, Netanyahu To Meet At White House As Gaza Peace Plan Looms

U.S. President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, September 29, Reuters reported.

The meeting comes as Trump pushes a 21-point peace plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza. He has described the proposal as a final blueprint for peace in the region.

Trump told reporters he hopes Netanyahu will endorse the plan, calling it a“major opportunity” to reshape the Middle East and restore stability.

Speaking at the UN General Assembly last week, Netanyahu strongly condemned the recognition of a Palestinian state by several countries, underscoring Israel's continued resistance to such initiatives.

The White House meeting highlights a critical moment, as Washington seeks to promote its peace initiative while Israel faces growing international scrutiny and diplomatic isolation.

Analysts believe the talks could define the next phase of U.S. policy in the Middle East. With the Gaza conflict nearing its second anniversary, Israel's global standing has weakened considerably.

Observers note that Trump's attempt to secure a breakthrough comes amid heightened pressure for a negotiated settlement and rising calls from the international community for a viable peace framework.
