The meeting with Trump also follows Netanyahu’s defiant speech at the UN General Assembly, where he stated that Israel will “finish the job” in Gaza and ensure Hamas is gone.

Israel and the US are under great international pressure to end the war in Gaza. Netanyahu’s UN speech was also boycotted by many diplomats who staged a walkout during his address.

Several Western allies, such as France, Canada, Australia and the UK, announced their formal recognition of Palestine as a state as part of a renewed call for a two-state solution and an end to hostilities.

In their meeting today, Trump is expected to push the Gaza deal proposed by the US, which is a 21-point plan focusing on the release of hostages, possible Palestinian recognition and the future of the war-torn strip.
