Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the complexities of a stalled Gaza ceasefire plan and the growing concerns surrounding Iran and Lebanon. The agenda for this meeting highlights an urgent need for stability in the the Middle East.

Netanyahu, who announced Trump's invitation for talks, expects discussions to encompass the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire as well as regional security threats like Hezbollah and Iran. While the White House remains reticent on details, the meeting could pave the way for establishing transitional governance in Palestinian territories.

Despite efforts brokered by Washington, the region remains in turmoil as Israel remains wary of foes rebuilding their forces. Israel contends that if Hamas doesn't disarm, military action may resume. Similar tensions persist with Hezbollah in Lebanon as they resist disarmament, despite a U.S.-backed ceasefire.
