Investing.com -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on July 7, according to Bloomberg, citing Israeli and US officials who requested anonymity as the details haven’t been officially announced.
The White House confirmed Monday that it was working to finalize a date for the meeting. The administration is pressing Israel to end the conflict in Gaza and secure the release of hostages still held by Hamas.
Last week, Trump expressed optimism about the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza, suggesting a deal might be reached within a week. He described a potential ceasefire as "close" but did not provide specific information about how such an agreement might take shape or identify his sources for this assessment.
The Gaza conflict began on October 7, 2023, and the upcoming meeting represents a significant diplomatic engagement as efforts continue to resolve the ongoing crisis.
