Trump has largely focused on expanding the Abraham Accords, an agreement in his first term that led to normalization of relations between Israel and some Arab nations. He's also proposed a relocation plan for Gaza's two million Palestinians, which Netanyahu endorsed at the time.

President Trump said at the top of his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he thinks Hamas and Israel "want to have that ceasefire" in Gaza. Why it matters: Trump has been pressuring both Israel and Hamas — through Qatari and Egyptian mediators — to agree to a deal that includes a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and the release of 10 living hostages and 18 bodies.
