Former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet face-to-face for the first time in nearly four years in an attempt to mend their strained relationship. The meeting, scheduled to take place at Mar-a-Lago, comes after a breakdown in relations following Netanyahu's prompt congratulations to President Joe Biden on his 2020 election victory.
For Trump, the meeting presents an opportunity to position himself as a strong ally and statesman, reinforcing the Republican Party's image as the most supportive of Israel. This comes at a time when bipartisan support for Israel in the U.S. is facing challenges due to divisions over the conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
