Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit US President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss the situation in Gaza and trade tariffs. Israel recently resumed strikes on Gaza after a ceasefire with Hamas collapsed, and talks on a second phase of the agreement have not made progress. Israel has closed all border crossings into Gaza, preventing crucial aid shipments from entering the area. Netanyahu has instructed the military to take strong action against Hamas for refusing to release hostages and rejecting US proposals. The decision to resume military action has been criticized by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
