Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Washington, D.C., for talks with President Trump. It’s Netanyahu’s third trip to Washington since Trump’s inauguration in January. Once again, the United States will not enforce an International Criminal Court warrant seeking Netanyahu’s arrest for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza. Ahead of the meeting, Trump predicted there’s a “good chance” Israel and Hamas will reach a deal on a new U.S.-promoted Gaza “ceasefire” framework, which Trump has called his “final proposal” for the Palestinians. It calls on Hamas to release 10 living and 18 dead Israeli hostages; in exchange, Israeli forces would withdraw to a buffer zone along Gaza’s borders and allow significant amounts of aid to be brought in by the United Nations, Red Crescent and other NGOs. The plan would still allow Israel to resume its assault on Gaza after an initial 60-day truce. Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas are continuing in Doha.
