Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the US, making him the first foreign leader to meet with President Donald Trump since his return to office, comes at a crucial time marked by fragile truces in Gaza and Lebanon. Netanyahu aims to leverage the strong US-Israel ties for support against Hamas and Hezbollah, both backed by Iran. While Trump has signaled his commitment to Israel's security, Netanyahu will also face pressure to make concessions for Saudi Arabia normalization, navigating domestic political challenges and Trump's own foreign policy priorities.
Israel 's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left Sunday for the United States where he will become the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump since the US president returned to office.
Before departing, Netanyahu called it"telling" that he would be the first foreign leader to meet Trump since his inauguration.After Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, Trump's predecessor Joe Biden had maintained military and diplomatic support for Israel. Celine Touboul, co-director of the Foundation for Economic Cooperation, a Tel Aviv think-tank, said"for Netanyahu, a privileged relationship with the White House is an essential tool".Despite Trump's early moves, Netanyahu will face a president determined to push his own agenda when the pair meet on Tuesday.
"He believes, as did his predecessors, that he must stabilise the region first and create an anti-Iran coalition with his strategic partners," including Israel and Saudi Arabia, he said. But Netanyahu's"political margin is very small in the face Trump who does not have the pressure of re-election", he added.
