'I'm Very Confident': Trump Pushes For Gaza Peace Proposal In Talks With Netanyahu
The United States President said that he was“very confident” on peace in Gaza soon.
Netanyahu arrived by limousine and was welcomed by Trump with a handshake, a sharp contrast to the cold response he received on Friday at the UN General Assembly, where many delegates walked out in protest.
During his fourth visit since Trump returned to office in January, Netanyahu aimed to strengthen Israel's most crucial alliance, following a wave of Western leaders formally recognising Palestinian statehood last week, moves that defied both the US and Israel.
Trump, who harshly condemned those recognitions as rewarding Hamas , was pushing Netanyahu to agree to a framework to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of the remaining hostages held by militants, according to the report.

Last week, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Washington unveiled a 21-point peace proposal to Arab and Muslim nations. On Monday, Trump focused primarily on narrowing the remaining differences with Netanyahu, the report noted. While Netanyahu lauds Trump as Israel's strongest ally, there are indications of Israeli doubts about the proposal, along with some hesitations from Arab countries, the report added.

Past US-supported ceasefire attempts have collapsed because they couldn't close the divide between Israel and Hamas, while Netanyahu has pledged to keep fighting until Hamas is fully defeated.
Meanwhile, Israeli tanks advanced further into Gaza City on Monday, as Israel carried out one of its most extensive offensives of the war this month. Netanyahu has stated that his goal is to eliminate Hamas in its last strongholds.
