Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House Monday comes amid renewed efforts for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war. The first round of indirect talks ended without any progress on Sunday night,

Hamas wants to ensure that a new cease-fire includes a guarantee that negotiations will lead to a permanent end to the Gaza war.

Trump said on Sunday there was a good chance such a deal could be reached this week, while Netanyahu said he believed his discussions with Trump would help advance talks underway in Qatar.
