Washington DC. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Washington during his US visit. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
The entire world is watching this meeting between Trump and Netanyahu. Before meeting with Netanyahu, Trump made a big statement that there is no guarantee of peace in Gaza. This expression of Trump came at a time when Netanyahu is facing heavy pressure from the right wing factions of his coalition. Right wing groups are demanding an end to the ceasefire in Gaza.
It is said that in the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, the possibilities of establishing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia may also be discussed. In addition, it is said that there may be talks about finalizing the second phase of the agreement for the release of the hostages. At a time when Netanyahu’s popularity in Israel is steadily declining, he has left for a visit to the United States.
Netanyahu is accused of corruption. However, Netanyahu has completely denied these allegations. Netanyahu hopes that by meeting Trump on this occasion, he can stop the decrease in his popularity. Trump is very popular in Israel.
The US Special Representative for West Asian Affairs has begun negotiations on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. But many people in Israel are not in favor of a peace agreement with Hamas. They believe that there should be no peace agreement and that the war should not stop until Hamas is completely independent.
The allies of Netanyahu’s government have also threatened to withdraw their support from the government if the ceasefire talks continue. It is said that the second phase could see the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. The families of the hostages are pressuring the government for a deal.
