PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in what would be their second White House sit-down since Trump’s return to office. At the meeting Monday, the leaders are expected to focus on the latest Israeli bombardment of Gaza and new U.S. tariffs announced by Trump against Israel and other countries. The visit was confirmed by a White House official on Saturday. Israel has pledged to escalate the war with Hamas until the militant group returns hostages, disarms and leaves the territory. Israel ended a ceasefire in March and has imposed a halt on all imports of food, fuel and humanitarian aid.
