Overview
- The leaders convened Monday in Palm Beach with no public agenda released, according to U.S. officials.
- Discussions are expected to center on advancing the Gaza ceasefire plan’s next stage and on threats involving Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, according to Israeli and U.S. media reports.
- Phase two calls for disarming Hamas, deploying an international stabilization force, and creating a Trump‑led transitional Peace Board, but it remains paused pending full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and Hamas delivering the remains of the last hostage, Ran Gvili.
- Washington is expected to press Netanyahu for measurable progress on implementation after months of delays, reflecting friction below the top-level rapport between the two leaders.
- Netanyahu’s fifth U.S. visit this year comes as he faces a “Qatargate” investigation and conscription protests at home, scrutiny over a flight path crossing ICC member states, and a disputed claim that his chief of staff’s phone was hacked.
