Trump and Netanyahu to Meet Dec. 29 at Mar-a-Lago

The session is positioned to advance Trump's Gaza peace framework through appointments to a new Board of Peace.

Overview

Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the Palm Beach meeting, which will be the leaders’ fifth U.S. encounter this year.
Israeli outlet Maariv reports Netanyahu will depart Dec. 28 and return Jan. 3 with Palm Beach as his only stop.
Neither side has released an agenda, but reporting indicates discussions are likely to focus on implementing the next phase of the Gaza plan, including an international stabilization force and a Palestinian technocratic government under the Board of Peace.
Trump is expected to announce the committee and Board of Peace members before Christmas, according to reporting.
The talks follow U.S.-brokered direct Jerusalem–Beirut contacts, the first since 1993, as reports point to Hezbollah rearmament, and the White House has warned that Israeli strikes in Syria could jeopardize a potential security agreement there.
