Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Trump at the White House on July 7, his third White House visit since January. The visit centers on advancing a Gaza cease‑fire, securing the return of hostages, and reviewing military cooperation—including recent joint strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. This visit follows senior adviser Ron Dermer’s preparatory talks in Washington.
The meeting underscores strong U.S.–Israel ties under Trump’s leadership. Washington recently approved a $510 million arms package to support Israel’s precision munitions, reinforcing strategic collaboration. Netanyahu also seeks to “celebrate” the success of joint strikes on Iran, signaling the two nations’ shared stance on regional threats.
Critics point to the intense military focus, while humanitarian concerns persist in Gaza. President Trump has emphasized both ending the conflict and securing hostages, aligning with Israel’s goals. Still, questions remain over Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, which U.S. officials confirm remains partly intact despite damage.
