Overview
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is traveling to the United States for talks with President Donald Trump on Monday at Mar-a-Lago.
- The agenda includes Iran’s nuclear file, as well as Syria, Hezbollah, and the second phase of the Gaza cease-fire.
- Phase two under the U.S.-supervised plan envisions Hamas disarmament, a gradual Israeli withdrawal, a technocratic transition authority, and an international stabilization force.
- Axios reports the White House wants to quickly announce a Palestinian technocratic government for Gaza, and senior U.S. officials are increasingly frustrated with steps by Netanyahu they say undermine the truce.
- Israel is demanding the return of the body of the last hostage, police officer Ran Gvili, while Hamas says it has not been able to locate him as mediators Egypt and Qatar press to accelerate the transition.
