Trump Invites Netanyahu to White House as First Foreign Leader of Second Term

The meeting, scheduled for February 4, will focus on Middle East peace efforts and shared security concerns amid a fragile Gaza ceasefire.

Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on February 4, marking the first foreign leader visit of Trump’s second term.
The meeting will address peace negotiations between Israel and its neighbors and strategies to counter mutual adversaries, including Iran.
The invitation comes during a tenuous ceasefire in Gaza following a 15-month war, with talks on a longer-term resolution set to begin February 3.
Over 375,000 Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza under the ceasefire, though many remain displaced and living in precarious conditions.
Humanitarian aid has increased significantly, with 4,200 trucks entering Gaza in the past week, while Qatar reports no major ceasefire violations so far.
