Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this Friday at his Palm Beach resort, signaling a move to reinforce their alliance. This encounter, their first since Trump left office, occurs as Netanyahu faces a challenging dynamic with the current Democratic administration over Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Trump’s announcement of the meeting on Truth Social reflects his continuing engagement with key international figures and his support for Israel, highlighting Netanyahu’s visit as an opportunity to discuss Middle East peace. The meeting also comes in the wake of a letter from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, wishing Trump strength after a recent attack on him at a rally, and Netanyahu’s complex interactions with both US political parties during his Washington visit.

While Netanyahu prepares to address Congress seeking support for Israel’s military efforts, his engagements with US leaders, including Trump, President Biden, and Harris—who recently declared her 2024 presidential candidacy—underscore the intricate political balancing act ahead of the November US elections.
