President Trump wants to reach an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their meeting on Monday on terms for ending the war in Gaza, two U.S. officials tell Axios. Why it matters: Trump is trying to seize the momentum from the Israel–Iran ceasefire to secure a breakthrough in Gaza this week.

W hen President Trump meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, the Middle East will look far different from how it did only months ago. A region that was awash in conflict and risk seems to be ripe for diplomacy. At first glance, it appears to be a rare opportunity for Trump’s brand of dealmaking.
