President Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week to discuss the aftermath of strikes<\/a> against Iran, trade issues and next steps related to Israel\u2019s war against Hamas<\/a> in the Gaza Strip and the fate of hostages held there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two leaders are expected to meet at the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s coming here. We\u2019re going to talk about a lot of things. We\u2019re going to talk about the great success we had \u2026 in Iran, we had an incredible success,\u201d Trump told reporters this morning while leaving the White House for Florida, referring to strikes by both Israel and the U.S. on Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also going to talk about Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netanyahu, speaking at the start of a government meeting on Tuesday, said Iran would be at the top of the agenda. <\/p>\n

\u201cTaking advantage of the success is no less an important part of achieving the success,\u201d Netanyahu said. <\/p>\n

The Israeli leader also said there are several items to discuss to reach a trade agreement with the U.S., adding he will meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Israel is under a 10 percent tariff imposed by Trump in April on all countries, and it was threatened with an additional 17 percent tariff that is expected to go into effect on July 9.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu also said he will meet with Vice President Vance, national security adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Trump\u2019s special envoy for the Middle East and Russia, Steve Witkoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump said last week he saw the potential for a ceasefire in Gaza and pressed for a deal to release the hostages in a post on Truth Social<\/a> on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!! DJT,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

But Israel has increased its bombardments on the coastal enclave and while Netanyahu signals bringing military operations to a close in Gaza, he has not indicated he would agree to a deal. Speaking during a visit to an Israel Security Agency facility on Sunday, Netanyahu said that the attacks against Iran have opened up \u201cmany opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirstly, to rescue the hostages. Of course, we will also need to solve the Gaza issue, defeat Hamas, but I believe we will accomplish both missions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hostages Families Forum, a nongovernmental organization advocating for the release of hostages held by Hamas through a ceasefire deal, criticized Netanyahu\u2019s use of the word \u201crescue\u201d instead of \u201crelease.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference of one word could mean the difference between salvation and loss for the hostages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
