President Trump has engaged in diplomatic efforts on global peace since his second inaugural, particularly focused on Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, and trade disputes. Despite these efforts, he has secured few major agreements aside from some trade deals. Concerns surrounding domestic pressures on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu complicate potential negotiations. Experts highlight how Netanyahu's right-wing nationalists influence his receptiveness to ceasefires and discussions with Trump. Additionally, Trump's recent military actions against Iran may affect Netanyahu's ongoing campaigns.
For Netanyahu, there are domestic political concerns that are influencing his enthusiasm about proceeding with a ceasefire [in Gaza] or formal negotiations with Iran, Jason Campbell, Senior Fellow at The Middle East Institute, told The Cipher Brief. I think that will continue to be a flashpoint in his discussions with President Trump.
Donald Trump jumped into a fray that initially he was very reluctant to join, and had said so publicly before Israel started its first series of attacks on Iran, Amb. Grappo said. He expects Trump to use that big favor to Israel, as he called it, in his discussions with Netanyahu.
President Trump has boasted frequently of his close relationship to Israel - the country has never had a better friend in the White House, he said during his first term.
