Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida, with the U.S. president pushing to move to the next stage of the fragile Gaza truce plan.
The crucial meeting at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort comes as some White House officials fear both Israel and Hamas are slow-walking the second phase of their ceasefire.
Trump, who said Netanyahu had asked for the talks, is reportedly keen to announce - as soon as January - a Palestinian technocratic government for Gaza and the deployment of an international stabilisation force.
The two leaders are to meet at 1pm (18:00 GMT), the White House said.
According to CNN, Trump hopes to deliver a jolt to Gaza peace efforts to initiate the second phase of a deal that stopped widespread fighting in October between Israel and Hamas but that could fail without progress.
For his part, Netanyahu will try to shift the focus onto Iran during his fifth meeting in the U.S. with Trump this year,
