Trump To Meet Netanyahu At Mar-A-Lago Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

Benjamin Netanyahu looks focused.

Former President Trump is expected to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago on Friday. Netanyahu's visit to the United States includes addressing Congress in Washington D.C. on Wednesday and meeting with President Biden for a bilateral meeting on Thursday. The Israeli Prime Minister is also scheduled to join Biden in meeting with the families of Americans held hostage by Hamas.

Netanyahu's visit comes amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas following a terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, expressed anticipation for Netanyahu's visit, highlighting the peace and stability achieved during his first term, including the signing of the historic Abraham Accords.

During his administration, Trump made significant moves in support of Israel, such as relocating the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights, and withdrawing the U.S. from the U.N. Human Rights Council. The Abraham Accords, brokered by Trump, established a groundbreaking peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, leading to normalized relations and bilateral agreements in various sectors.

Netanyahu's address to Congress on Wednesday was extended by bipartisan leaders of both the House and the Senate. However, Vice President Kamala Harris will not preside over the address as she has a prior commitment in Indiana. Harris, who recently became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president following Biden's campaign suspension, serves as the president of the Senate.
