Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with President Trump at the White House, marking his second visit since January amid escalating conflict with Hamas. This renewed military campaign in Gaza has continued despite Trump's aides attempting to broker a ceasefire. Netanyahu has advocated for what he describes as voluntary emigration for Gazans, facing criticism for potentially endorsing forced displacement. The Trump administration remains supportive of Israel, blaming Hamas for the recent violence, while humanitarian concerns grow for civilians in Gaza as aid is restricted.
During Mr. Netanyahu's last visit, Mr. Trump described a vision for Gaza that involved a U.S. takeover and the mass exit of Palestinians from the enclave.
A spokesman for Mr. Netanyahu did not respond to a request for comment regarding the renewed military campaign against Hamas.
Mr. Netanyahu has since issued a call for what he calls voluntary emigration by Gazans, which critics have denounced as effectively forced displacement.
Israeli forces have been steadily bombarding Gaza and advancing deeper into the enclave since the war resumed in late March.
