WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.
President Trump is trying to help Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire and a deal to free hostages, in hopes of ending the war in Gaza.
Two U.S. officials confirmed the visit, but asked not to be named because they were not allowed to speak publicly.
This will be Netanyahu's third visit to the White House since Trump returned to office in January. The visit comes after the U.S. attacked Iranian nuclear sites and helped stop fighting between Israel and Iran. Now, Trump wants to focus on ending the war between Israel and Hamas.
Late last week, Trump told reporters, "We think within the next week we're going to get a ceasefire," but he did not explain why he believed that.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump and his team are talking regularly with Israeli leaders, and ending the Gaza war is a top goal for the president.
"It's heartbreaking to see the images from both Israel and Gaza," Leavitt said. "The president wants the war to end and wants to save lives."
Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer is also in Washington this week to discuss the Gaza war, Iran, and other vital issues with U.S. officials.
