U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House this week, with their February 11 meeting focusing on Iran's regional influence and contentious plans for Gaza governance. The talks come just days before Trump's newly announced Board of Peace holds its first session to address the territory's future.
🔍 While the leaders reaffirmed their alliance, sources indicate friction over Trump's Gaza strategy – particularly regarding humanitarian aid distribution and security frameworks. Netanyahu emphasized Israel's “right to defend itself” during a press briefing, while Trump called the collaboration “a beautiful thing for peace.”
🚨 Analysts note the timing is crucial: The Board of Peace's inaugural meeting on February 18 could reshape regional dynamics. However, Palestinian representatives have yet to confirm participation, raising questions about the initiative's inclusivity.
