Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with evangelical leaders in the United States ahead of his meeting with President Donald Trump. The gathering highlighted the strong historic friendship between Israel and American Christians, particularly Christian Zionists who interpret the Bible as promising the land of Israel to the Jews. The meeting emphasized the influential support that evangelical Christian Zionists provide to Israel, especially during Trump's second term.
During a joint news conference with Netanyahu, Trump proposed the idea of relocating Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and having the U.S. take over the region, envisioning a prosperous future for Gaza. This proposal was met with criticism from Muslim and Jewish leaders who emphasized the need for a negotiated agreement between Israel and the Palestinians for lasting peace.
