Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Trump at the White House next week, making him the first foreign leader invited to visit Washington by the new Trump administration.
Trump told reporters on Monday that he would be hosting Netanyahu “very soon,” and the office of the Israeli prime minister confirmed on Tuesday that the meeting would take place on February 4.
Ahead of Netanyahu’s trip to the US, Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is expected to hold talks with the Israeli leader in Israel. According to The Jerusalem Post, they’re expected to discuss phase two of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas.
Netanyahu has claimed that he received a guarantee from Trump that Israel could restart its genocidal war in Gaza if it chooses to do so. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has also said he’s received assurances from Netanyahu that Israeli military operations would restart after the first phase, which involves a 42-day ceasefire to allow for hostage exchanges.
Witkoff, a real estate investor from New York, has said he wants to ensure that the full ceasefire deal is implemented, but he has warned it will be difficult. Pressure Witkoff put on Netanyahu was seen as the key factor in getting Israel to agree to the deal in the first place.
Israeli officials have said they received assurances from the US in exchange for signing the ceasefire deal, including a promise to increase US military aid. Over the weekend, President Trump released a 2,000-pound bomb shipment for Israel that was paused by President Biden.
Bad times.
And here is comes. Netanyahu will praise trump as a great leader. Trump will eat it up and Netanyahu will get what he wants.
Trump obeys Israel, not him. They’ll diverge.
I'd tend to agree with your statement – refining it to say that Trump obeys whoever holds the most political control over the Apartheid State of Israel.
If that's Netanyahu then him; if a successor is close to the throne, then Trump's fealty will pass to that man whether or not Netanyahu is the extant PM.
Politics is the manner of obtaining money from the rich and votes from the poor, both under the pretence of wanting to protect one from the other.

President Trump is exposing the International Criminal Court (ICC), its prosecutor and the international community of the United Nations because there is an international arrest warrant against Netanyahu by the ICC prosecutor.

That saying is totally true. When the WEF, Davos and elite crowds saw that Biden would not longer be useful and when the lowly Democrats messed up by shoving Kamala in its place was when the rich gave Trump an offer like "we give you money , you deliver us the votes". And that's exactly what happened. MSNBC talking heads and brainwashed Democrats are totally stunned and upset crying why the Democrat party is not doing more to stop Trump.
Sure, where are the million people marches with pink hats or BLM or ANTIFA? No more $25.00 an hour payouts, no more huge protests.
No need. Just send the instructions and dirty laundry.
Tidy up the place, the Boss is coming to Town.
Well, this says it all, really.. The two international pariahs having a genocidal love-in.. How nice..
What’s for lunch?…. Certainly not humble pie.!…
Trumpwiches.
It's Trump's signature deli sandwich. Loads of ham, smothered in mayonnaise, between lots of (very white) bread (aka "money") donated by wealthy special-interest groups, with nothing green anywhere in the ingredients. Served with a cold dish of political revenge against perceived persecutors.
And a Diet Coke. As I recall, Trump loves those.
LOL!
Kosher ? Not so much.
Is he bringing his laundry?
Better bring some quarters!…
;-}
Another issue that will probably be raised in the Wednesday meeting between Witkoff and Netanyahu is Trump’s recent statements regarding a proposal to move Gazans to Egypt and Jordan.
The president said he had discussed the issue with the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and said, “We helped them a lot, and I’m sure he’d help us. He’s a friend of mine. I think he would do it, and Jordan would do it too.”

Yes, I'd say the probability of that subject being raised is quite high. Netanyahu must be salivating.
I guess the prostate has been cured…!
I guess they'll discuss which condos and casinos to build in Gaza after Trump "clears out" the place. I would say they'd have to fumigate the WH after Netanyahu leaves, but might as well wait until Trump leaves so it only has to be done once (save taxpayer money).
Definitely wait until Trump passes away in office about 9 years from now, demolish the structure, and in his honor construct a SUPER WHITE House.
The fumigation was needed when genocide pudding brain left office too. And it has needed fumigation after every president has left office in my lifetime.
Arrest the Ahole.
How much dirt did Israeli spy Jeff Epstein get on Donald Trump? How much dirt did he get on Elon Musk’s brother? Is the US ruling class being blackmailed by Israel?
N.- keeps claiming that T.- gave him a separate guarantee to resume slaughtering Gazans if he wants to. I'd like to see that 'guarantee' and the language it uses that gives N.- such an erection. If I were a betting man I'd wager quite a bit that's not exactly what it says, but that there is just enough wiggle room for N.- to twist it to his purposes. Then again, T.- isn't denying it so who knows.
