President Donald Trump will hold a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday at the White House, according to one source familiar with the meeting.
Netanyahu’s visit to the White House, reported by CBS on Monday evening, is the first by a foreign dignitary of Trump’s second term and comes after Israel missed the deadline to begin negotiations with Hamas for the second phase of a Gaza ceasefire.

The first phase of the ceasefire is set expire on March 1.
Since entering office, Trump himself has voiced doubts about the ceasefire holding and has floated resettling Palestinians in Egypt or Jordan from Gaza.

The Arab League, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and the Palestinian Authority released a joint statement over the weekend rejecting that proposal.
Their statement claimed that Trump’s proposals “threaten the region’s stability, risk expanding the conflict, and undermine prospects for peace and coexistence among its peoples.”
