Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, urged stronger measures against Iran and Hamas in discussions with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The Gaza ceasefire is currently stalled. Trump cautioned Iran against restoring missile arsenals and insisted Hamas disarm. Progress on the next stage of the peace plan is slow. Israel continues operations in Lebanon and Syria, increasing regional tensions, with some suggesting renewed conflict with Iran is possible. Disagreements persist regarding West Bank settlements. Netanyahu stated Trump will be awarded Israel's highest honour.
