Overview
- The leaders are holding a closed-door session at Mar-a-Lago with no public agenda, confirmed by a U.S. government spokesperson, in their fifth U.S. meeting of 2025.
- Washington is expected to push for concrete implementation of the October cease-fire, including accountability for Israeli troop drawdowns.
- Phase two of the U.S.-brokered 20-point plan envisions disarming Hamas, an international stabilization force, and a transitional Peace Board.
- The start of that phase remains suspended until Israel completes a full withdrawal from Gaza and Hamas hands over the remains of the last hostage, Ran Gvili.
- The talks unfold as sources report friction between parts of Trump’s team and Netanyahu, and as the Israeli prime minister faces the Qatargate probe and renewed ultra-Orthodox conscription protests.
