Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to tell US President Donald Trump in their meeting this evening that Israel remains firm on three non-negotiable conditions for ending the war in Gaza: the complete destruction of Hamas, the exile of its leadership from Gaza, and the full disarmament of the terror group, Channel 12 reports.
While Israel is reportedly willing to show more flexibility on other matters, such as the distribution of humanitarian aid and IDF repositioning, these three demands “continue to be the point of contention in the efforts to reach a conclusion to the war,” according to the Hebrew network.
