U.S. President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu meet in Washington D.C.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held closed-door discussions at the White House on Monday regarding the Middle East, where Trump expressed confidence that Hamas will accept the truce deal.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that the ceasefire proposal supported by Israel has been delivered to Hamas and further added that the release of all hostages is President Trump's top priority.

She also stated that Special Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue the remaining discussions.

On the same day, Netanyahu also brought a letter nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, which he had sent to the Nobel Prize Committee.

The Prime Minister praised Trump for his peace-making abilities by claiming that "he's forging peace," which Trump said was "meaningful."

This marks Netanyahu's third visit to the U.S. during Trump's second administration.
