Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in February to discuss various issues, including the threat from Iran. Trump is open to imposing severe sanctions on Tehran but wants them to be accompanied by a credible threat of military action. Netanyahu's visit will coincide with negotiations for the second phase of the cease-fire deal in Gaza. Trump is expected to urge Netanyahu to continue talks, using the Saudi deal as an incentive. The U.S. is also working on a normalization package that includes other Muslim states. Trump and Netanyahu are also expected to discuss a new defense memorandum of understanding, the cease-fire in Lebanon, and the new Syrian regime.
