Trump, Netanyahu to meet in Florida for crucial talks on Iran and Gaza

President Donald Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida on Monday hoping to push forward the ceasefire that he brokered in Gaza, while the Israeli leader is expected to make the case for new action against Iran.

Those two issues are expected to be the focus of the discussions at Trump's Mar-a-Lago property, a White House official told NBC News. It comes a day after the president hosted Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of the U.S. bid to negotiate a peace deal with Russia.

While Trump has been working for an end to the war in Europe, progress has stalled in the Middle East.

The Israel-Hamas truce went into effect in October, ending the two-year conflict in Gaza that followed the Oct. 7 Hamas-led terror attack on Israel.

But there has been little movement on the more complex second phase of the peace process, raising concerns both sides are failing to take action to carry out the next phase of the deal.
