Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited to visit the White House on Feb. 4, making him the first foreign leader to do so in Trump's second term. The visit comes as the United States pressures Israel and Hamas to continue a ceasefire in Gaza. Netanyahu is likely to use the meeting to remind the world of the support he has received from Trump and to defend Israel's conduct of the war. He is also expected to encourage Trump to put more pressure on Iran and renew efforts for a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
