Overview

  • President Trump hosted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 7 at the White House to advance a US-brokered 60-day Gaza ceasefire plan.
  • The proposal ties phased withdrawals of Israeli troops from Gaza to staged releases of hostages held by Hamas.
  • US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to travel to Doha this week to resume indirect ceasefire negotiations with Hamas.
  • The two sides remain stuck over whether the ceasefire would terminate the war or determine the framework for Gaza’s future governance.
  • Trump and Netanyahu have celebrated recent joint strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and announced plans for new US-Iran talks to solidify regional security gains.
