The Israeli prime minister faces competing pressure from his right-wing coalition to end a temporary truce in Gaza and from war-weary Israelis who want the remaining hostages home and the month conflict to end.
The meeting was confirmed Tuesday by a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly. This has been happening for years.
Trump has called on Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to take in Palestinians from Gaza temporarily while reconstruction takes place in Gaza after the devastating war between Hamas and Israel. His call Tuesday was the first time he has publicly floated making that resettlement permanent. Palestinians claim Gaza as part of a future homeland, and many have indicated a desire to remain and rebuild. The leaders have yet to discuss the tariffs that Trump imposed on Chinese goods and retaliatory tariffs that Xi has slapped on some American products.
Trump on Monday agreed to a day pause on tariffs against Canada and Mexico after phone conversations with the leaders of those two U. Trump top advisers have made the case that a three-to-five-year timeline for reconstruction of the war-torn territory, as laid out in a temporary truce agreement, is not viable.
The U. VA nurses were among the millions of federal workers who received an email last week offering eight months of paid leave if they agreed to resign. Nurses unions are discouraging members from accepting the offer. Sixty percent of VA facilities are experiencing a severe nursing shortage, according to a report from the VA Office of Inspector General. Newsom will travel to Washington this week to advocate for disaster aid for deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
