President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Tuesday, marking the first visit by a foreign leader during Trump's second term. Netanyahu arrived at the West Wing entrance and was greeted by Trump before their meeting in the Oval Office. The leaders are set to discuss the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, as Netanyahu faces competing pressures from his right-wing coalition to end a temporary truce against Hamas militants and from Israelis who desire peace. The meeting includes a joint press conference, which is being broadcast live. Netanyahu's visit comes amid negotiations on the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire and broader Middle East issues.
