Good morning Dami.

Let's begin with the recent talks between the U.S. President and the Israeli Prime Minister at the White House.

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened to address a wide range of issues, including the Gaza conflict and Iran's nuclear ambitions.

During their meeting on Monday at the Oval Office, Trump announced the initiation of direct talks with Iran over its nuclear program, with high-level discussions scheduled to begin on Saturday.

Netanyahu expressed conditional support for the diplomatic efforts, stating that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities through diplomatic means would be favorable.

The leaders also discussed the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Netanyahu highlighted Israel's commitment to securing the release of hostages held by Hamas and mentioned its ongoing military operations aimed at achieving this objective.

The U.S. President once again expressed his desire for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip, saying that it would be a "good thing."
