His office says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on his way to the United States to discuss the second stage of the ceasefire with the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza.

Negotiations for The second stage of the ceasefire On Sunday, Netanyahu’s office in Washington, DC, said on Monday.

US President Donald Trump, who claimed credit for the ceasefire deal on January 19, is expected to host Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday – the first Trump meeting with a foreign leader since his inauguration for a second term.

Netanyahu’s American trip comes for two weeks in The first stage of the ceasefire 33 Israeli prisoners are scheduled to liberate in exchange for nearly 2000 Palestinian prisoners. The second stage is expected to cover the launch of the remaining prisoners and includes discussions about a permanent end of the war.

Gaza stopped shooting for 15 months of Israeli genocide in the pocket, which killed more than 47,000 Palestinians, more than half of them, women and children, according to local health authorities.

Speaking at Tel Aviv Airport before his departure, Netanyahu said that he and Trump will discuss “victory over Hamas, achieving all our hostages and dealing with the Iranian terrorist axis” in the Middle East.

Netanyahu described her as “telling” that he will be the first foreign leader to meet Trump since his inauguration. “I think it is a testament to the strength of the Israeli -American coalition,” he said.

It is also the first American trip to Netanyahu since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued The arrest warrant Against him in November due to the alleged war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip.

The United States, which previously praised the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue an order against Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the Ukraine war, is not signed on the Rome Law, the treaty that established the court.

Senior American politicians Punishment attempt The International Court on the orders of the arrest of Netanyahu and former defense minister Yuf Galent, and threatened to include the most important prosecutors and their families.

Firing

How extent is Trump and Netanyahu to advance the ceasefire, it remains to see. Netanyahu is under tremendous pressure from his right -wing governmental government partners to abandon the deal after the first stage and restart the attacks on Gaza.

Trump, for his part, gave mixed signals about the possibility of a permanent end of war. When asked on January 20, shortly after the constitutional right, if he was confident that the armistice in Gaza will keep it, he said: “I am not sure.”

“It is not our war, it is their war,” he added.

Recently, Trump also suggested “cleaning” Gaza ethnically, and insists that the Arab countries Egypt and Jordan should take the Palestinians displaced from the pocket, a The possibility of their rejection high.

Scott Lucas, a professor of international politics at the University of Dublin, told Al -Jazeera Island that the second stage of the Gaza deal faces pressure from multiple aspects. He said that the Israeli prisoners are still detained in Gaza and the Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons will not be released unless the second stage of the ceasefire in Gaza may remain in place.

“Here, you are talking about four sides of pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump,” he said.

He said that there are pressure from the solid right in Israel, especially from Finance Minister Bezallil Sottic from within the Council of Ministers and former National Security Minister Itamar bin Ghafir.

“They do not want the second stage. They want a military government in Gaza, and they want the displacement of the Palestinians, and they are actually talking about returning to the war.”

Then there is pressure from elements in Israel that believe that their priority should be the return of all prisoners.

On the other hand, Lucas said that Hamas will continue to resist Israeli efforts to eliminate the group from Gaza, and the Palestinians reject the military occupation.

“The fourth is Donald Trump, who wants to be a peacemaker, but he is also a strong supporter of Israel to the extent that it will be resolved to bring peace is to send all the residents of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. Therefore, there is no way to raise those four aspects to obtain the second stage at this stage .

Occupied West Bank settlements

Also on the agenda during Netanyahu’s visit, Israel’s illegal settlements can be in the occupied West Bank. Smotrich, who opposes the ceasefire and a defender of the voice settlement, urged Netanyahu to raise the case.

“We must strengthen our grip and sovereignty over the homeland in Judea and Samaria,” Sottic said in a letter addressed to Netanyahu, referring to the occupied West Bank.

Netanyahu’s early meeting with Trump is a clear departure from his relations with the former American administration, which, despite being the largest arms resource in Israel, criticized her behavior war and Stop some military shipments.

Trump has declared himself as president in support of Israel in the history of the United States They appointed senior diplomats Those who publicly support the right -wing Israeli factions, including pushing them to include the occupied West Bank.
