According to CNN sources, the presidents will discuss several relevant topics at the meeting, including further steps regarding the Gaza Strip, Iran's ballistic missile program, the situation in Lebanon, and details of a new military aid package for Israel from the U.S. Additionally, they will discuss moving to the second phase of the American plan for Gaza and ways to maintain the ceasefire.
CNN also reports that Netanyahu may ask Trump for a "green light" for a new military operation in Gaza. In exchange, he might offer more active support for the American initiative for further agreements in the region. However, the White House has not commented on this information yet.
The details and scale of the proposed operation remain unclear. It is likely to be targeted and aimed at the remaining leaders of Hamas, according to CNN.
The Axios publication notes that Trump intends to create a "Council for Peace" for Gaza under U.S. auspices in January, which will help manage the situation in the area. According to the information, the Trump administration is not discussing the possibility of a new Israeli invasion.
Netanyahu's visit also has significance for domestic politics. American analysts emphasize that the Prime Minister is preparing his campaign for the 2026 elections and seeks to demonstrate strong ties with the White House to Israeli voters. According to CNN, the Prime Minister's office believes that only Trump can help strengthen Netanyahu's image as a "leader achieving foreign policy successes."
