Netanyahu's Trump Meeting: A Gaza Ceasefire Push and Political Peril

U.S. President Donald Trump will push for progress on a stalled Gaza ceasefire when he meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on December 29. The leaders will also discuss Israel's security concerns regarding Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran. For Netanyahu, the talks come at a difficult time. He faces growing domestic dissatisfaction over his management of the Gaza conflict and broader security issues. The Prime Minister must navigate Trump's push for a ceasefire while avoiding actions that could antagonize his political base at home.
