Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington comes at a critical juncture as ceasefire negotiations in Gaza continue. Despite the overshadowing news of US President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race, Netanyahu's meetings with top US officials hold significance for the prospects of a ceasefire.
There is speculation surrounding Netanyahu's intentions regarding a potential deal, with some suggesting he may benefit politically from prolonging the conflict. However, there are indications that Netanyahu and his team are actively engaged in negotiations with Hamas, bringing the parties closer to a possible agreement.
