Israel ready to accept Trump's terms on Gaza - report

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to move toward the second phase of the Gaza deal, even though he has been at odds with Donald Trump's team about its implementation, according to a U.S. official and another source.

U.S. President Donald Trump asked the Israeli PM to change Israel's policies in the West Bank during their meeting on Monday, Axios reported.

The White House thinks an escalation in the West Bank would undermine efforts to implement the Gaza peace agreement and prevent the expansion of the Abraham Accords.

Netanyahu also accepted Trump's request that he resume talks with the Syrian government over a potential security pact.

The topic came up both in the preparatory meeting Netanyahu had on Monday morning with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and during Trump's meeting with Netanyahu in the afternoon.

The U.S. president and his team raised settler violence against Palestinian civilians, the financial instability of the Palestinian Authority, and Israeli settlements expansion.
