Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet President Donald Trump on Monday to discuss Gaza operations amid growing international pressure. Trump recently presented a 21-point proposal aimed at ending the conflict during United Nations General Assembly discussions with Arab leaders. Netanyahu faces mounting isolation as multiple countries recognize Palestinian statehood, and domestic protesters demand a comprehensive ceasefire agreement.
The American plan reportedly requires a permanent ceasefire, hostage releases, Israeli military withdrawal, and humanitarian aid increases. Palestinian Authority involvement in future Gaza governance presents significant challenges for Netanyahu's coalition government. Far-right ministers threaten to dissolve the administration if he accepts certain terms, while opposition leaders offer potential parliamentary support for peace agreements.
Experts suggest Netanyahu has limited options given America's status as Israel's primary remaining international ally. The proposal envisions an international security force with Palestinian personnel alongside Arab troops managing post-conflict Gaza operations.
