Netanyahu Travels to Washington for First Meeting with Trump as Ceasefire Negotiations Commence

Update: Netanyahu heads to Washington today for important ceasefire discussions and a landmark meeting with Trump scheduled for tomorrow. The discussions are focused on securing the release of more than 70 hostages that are still in captivity and defining the future direction of the Gaza ceasefire deal. Significance: The results of these negotiations could have a significant impact on regional stability and the well-being of 2.3 million displaced individuals in Gaza. Failure to reach an agreement between Israel and Hamas by the beginning of March may lead to a resumption of hostilities, jeopardizing peace initiatives and talks aimed at Saudi Arabia's normalization.
