Netanyahu to meet with Trump at the White House
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House next week. He has been invited for February 4, according to a statement. The White House confirmed an invitation, but did not give a specific date.
Netanyahu could thus be the first head of government from abroad to be received by Trump as president. Such an invitation is a strong gesture of support for the right-wing prime minister, who has come under heavy international criticism for his conduct of the war in the Gaza Strip.
Trump had already made several unilaterally pro-Israeli decisions during his first term in office (2017 to 2021). For example, his government recognized Israel's claim to the occupied Golan Heights and to Jerusalem as its capital. Support for Netanyahu was also evident in the first days of his second term. For example, the US President approved the delivery of heavy bombs to Israel.
Sanctions against radical settlers halted
Trump also lifted sanctions against radical Israeli settlers in the West Bank that had been imposed by Biden's government. Since the Hamas massacre, there had been more violence against Palestinians there.
The fact that Hamas and Israel's government have agreed on a temporary ceasefire is also to Trump's credit. He had threatened Hamas.
