Netanyahu will meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago, mending a years-long rift
SUMMARY
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, marking their first face-to-face encounter in nearly four years. The meeting aims to repair relations strained after Netanyahu's congratulatory message to Joe Biden in 2020, which Trump viewed as disloyal. For Trump, the meeting could bolster his image as a staunch ally of Israel, highlighting his past achievements such as the Abraham Accords. For Netanyahu, mending ties with Trump is strategic given the potential for Trump's return to the presidency and its implications for U.S.-Israel relations. The meeting also comes amid divisions in the U.S. over support for Israel and ongoing conflicts in Gaza.
