Column | For Netanyahu and Trump, a vision of 'peace' belies Gaza reality
Briefly

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is returning to the White House amid discussions of new peace efforts led by President Donald Trump. Trump recently praised a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and plans to announce a new truce between Israel and Hamas following earlier failed agreements. The administration seeks to build on the Abraham Accords, involving potential normalization with Saudi Arabia, while Netanyahu views the current opportunity as crucial following his recent military actions against Iran. Analysts warn that achieving sustainable peace remains a significant challenge.
In Trump's view - and possibly that of Netanyahu - a fresh truce could pave the way for a far greater peace in the Middle East. Trump is keen to revive the spirit of the Abraham Accords, the normalization deals between Israel and a small number of Arab states.
Netanyahu sees the moment - just weeks after hitting Iran with airstrikes including those that killed top officials - as vital to his future prospects. Politically, Netanyahu will not have a better opportunity than the one he has after the success of Iran.
