Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump are expected to speak by phone today, the Walla news site reports.

The two leaders will discuss the currently stuck Gaza hostage talks and the nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran, Walla says.

After several attempts by the US and Egypt to convince Israel and Hamas to agree to a bridging proposal failed, the US is determined to try again this week and the matter will be discussed when Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani arrives in Washington tomorrow for meetings with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US special envoy to the Mideast Steve Witkoff, Walla says.

This will be the first call between Netanyahu and Trump since the Israeli premier visited the White House two weeks ago.
