Jerusalem:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left for the United States on Sunday, where he would become the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump after returning to the post of US President.
His journey comes in Gaza as a delicate truste between Israel and Hamas and between Israel and Hizbullah in Lebanon. Both operators group are supported by Iran.
Before riding in their flight, Netanyahu said the pair would discuss “victory over Hamas, achieving the release of all our hostages and dealing with the Iranian terrorist axis”.
During his first term, Trump “had a better friend at the White House”, a attitude that ended.
Before departing, Netanyahu called it “this” that he would be the first foreign leader to meet Trump since his inauguration.
“I think this is a testimony to the strength of the Israel-American coalition,” he said.
After Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden maintained military and diplomatic support for Israel.
But the Biden administration also removed itself over the counting of death from the upcoming War of Israel in Gaza and delayed helping in delivery.
Trump has gone quickly to reset relationships.
Soon after returning to the White House, he allegedly approved a shipment of 2,000 -pound bombs to Israel, which was blocked by the Biden administration, and lifted restrictions on Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinians accused of violence against Palestinians. Gave.
After the ceasefire in Gaza last month after 15 months of the war, Trump planned to “clean” the Palestinian region, asked Palestinians to go to neighboring countries such as Egypt or Jordan.
His attitude has strengthened the need for Netanyahu’s strong American relations as he navigates domestic and regional pressures.
The Foundation for Economic Cooperation’s co-director Seleen Taubol, an Tel Aviv Think-Tank said, “For Netanyahu, a privileged relationship with the White House is an essential tool”.
Stabilize
Despite Trump’s early steps, Netanyahu faced a President to pursue his own agenda when the pair on Tuesday.
Trump officials warned that “the fresh fight in the Middle East will distract the new Trump team from explaining what Trump has defined as more pressure priorities”, the New York -based Saufan Center said.
These include “securing the Southern American border from illegal migration and settling the Russian-Ukraine War”, the think tank.
In addition, “Trump wants to rebuild his priorities towards Asia-Pacific”, said David Khalfa, a researcher at Jean Jers Foundation in Paris.
He said, “He believes that, as his predecessors did, they should first stabilize the region and form an anti-Iran-Iran coalition with their strategic partners,” including Israel and Saudi Arabia, he said .
‘Political margin’
Dialogue will also give cover concessions to Netanyahu to accept generalization efforts with Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh discussed at the beginning of the Gaza war and stressed a proposal of the Palestinian issue before performing any deal, stricter his stand.
“Today is an ideological alignment between the Trumpist American Wright and the Prime Minister of Israel,” said Khalfa.
But Netanyahu’s “political margin is very small, Trump Trump is not under pressure to re -election”, he said.
The indirect talks between Israel and Hamas are scheduled to resume this week in the second phase of the Gaza Truste Agreement.
When successful, the deal can lead to the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza, both dead and living, and potentially eliminate the war.
Netanyahu’s office said he would start discussing with the Middle East of Trump Steve Vitkofof on Monday.
But he faces deep pressure from far-flung politicians within his governing coalition, which occurs with the intention of re-starting the Gaza war after the current six weeks of Trus ends.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezelle Smotrich has threatened to leave the government. If the war does not resume, it potentially snatches the Netanyahu of its majority.
The Prime Minister has to face an alternative between Washington’s demands and fast impatient political supporters at home.
“If Trump asked him to give concessions to Palestinians to get generalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu would have to choose between a privileged relationship with the US President or maintain his alliance,” Said.
