Netanyahu is planning to attend Donald Trump's second inauguration and hopes to deliver a special gift to the new president. He is motivated to make a deal in the Gaza negotiations to avoid angering Trump, who has expressed distrust in the Israeli prime minister. Netanyahu fears losing support from Trump's Evangelical base, which dominates his support. Trump's threats have added impetus to a deal between Israel and Hamas. Biden administration officials credit Trump's threats with pushing both sides to make a deal. Trump has indicated that he does not prioritize the two-state solution and wants a deal that brings peace and stops the killing. Netanyahu hopes to give Trump a Gaza ceasefire and possibly a freed American-Israeli hostage as a gift.
