Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday afternoon since the latter’s second term began on Jan. 20.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters ahead of the meeting on Tuesday that Trump’s invite to Netanyahu means that the U.S. president “will continue to stand strongly with Israel and that he is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring all of the hostages return home.”
The talks focused largely on starting the negotiations for stage two of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement, in which Israel is to withdraw entirely from Gaza in exchange for the release of the remaining living hostages and a permanent cessation of hostilities.
According to Trump, the Saudis are no longer demanding a Palestinian state.
