On December 29, 2025, US President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. An Israeli government spokesperson announced the meeting, stating the leaders will discuss the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire. Netanyahu indicated the talks will focus on ending Hamas governance in Gaza, ensuring adherence to the ceasefire plan, and establishing an international stabilization force. The second phase of the ceasefire, concerning post-war governance, is expected to be more challenging than the initial phase, which involved prisoner exchanges and Israeli withdrawal from parts of Gaza. Despite a US-brokered ceasefire since October 10, there have been numerous Israeli violations and Palestinian deaths in Gaza.
