Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to Washington marks critical discussions on Middle Eastern peace following a year of conflict ignited by Hamas. With Trump advocating for an end to regional wars, Netanyahu emphasized the opportunity to reshape peace dynamics. Topics include the evolving cease-fire negotiations for Gaza and Lebanon, along with addressing Iran's nuclear threats and potential normalization of ties with Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu's remarks reflect a commitment to security and peace, aiming for a transformative relationship between Israel and its neighbors amidst ongoing tensions.
The decisions we made in the war have already changed the face of the Middle East. I believe that we can strengthen security, broaden the circle of peace and achieve a remarkable era of peace through strength.
Negotiations are supposed to start on Monday for the second phase of the cease-fire deal for Gaza that would turn a temporary truce into a permanent cessation of hostilities and see the release of hostages.
Overarching issues for the future of the Middle East also remain on the agenda, including curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions and the possibility of a grand bargain involving formal ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
