Benjamin Netanyahu is making his sixth visit to the U.S. since Donald Trump returned to the White House in early 2025. The trip occurs amid regional tensions, including Israel's actions in the West Bank and Gaza, and ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. Netanyahu is expected to push for a hardline U.S. approach towards Iran during his visit to Washington, D.C. His previous visit in February 2025, aimed to reaffirm the U.S.-Israeli alliance, saw Trump propose a controversial plan for Gaza that ultimately led to the collapse of a ceasefire and the resumption of conflict. Another visit followed in April of the same year.
