Trump and Netanyahu to hold talks, hammering out second phase of hostage deal to top agenda

New Indian Express  

Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is among the hostages, called on Trump to use American leverage to keep Netanyahu committed to the agreement. The ultra-extremists are blackmailing the prime minister to do their bidding.” Since returning to office, Trump has called for relocating Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan, even as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Jordanian King Abdullah II have rejected it. Shibley Telhami, the Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland, said the push by Trump to move Palestinians out of Gaza is helpful to Netanyahu. “It's hard to see the Saudis going along with it.” Netanyahu on Monday met with Trump’s pick to serve as ambassador to Israel, former Arkansas Gov. “This is one of the most important and critical meetings between an American president and an Israeli prime minister,” said Eytan Gilboa, an expert on U.S.-Israel relations at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv.
