Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with US President Donald Trump on Monday, at a critical point marked by increasing international isolation and increasing domestic riots over the ongoing Israeli military campaign in Gaza.
A high-risk meeting following Trump’s launch regarding the 21-point plan aimed at ending the Gaza conflict, a proposal that was introduced during talks with Arab and Muslim leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
On Sunday, Trump tempted potential progress in the Middle East crisis, writing about social truth: “We will finish it !!!” And promising “something special” on the days.
Only a few days before, he told reporters in Washington, “I think we have an agreement” in Gaza – a statement that is very contrasting with the tone of challenging Netanyahu at the United Nations, where he declared Israel’s intention to “finish work” in his war against Hamas.
Despite courage, analysts say Netanyahu is in an increasingly precarious position.
“He has no choice but to receive” Trump’s plan for a ceasefire, said Eytan Gilboa, an expert in the US-Israel relationship at the University of Bar-Atih. “Just because the United States and Trump remain almost one ally in the international community.”
Returning home, Netanyahu faced endless pressure from the developing protest movement. Tens of thousands of Israelis have been taken to the streets, demanding a ceasefire and the return of the hostages held in Gaza.
“The only thing that can stop the slide to the abyss is a full and comprehensive agreement that ends the war and bring all the hostages and soldiers home,” said Lishay Miran-Lavi, whose husband, Omri Miran, remains a prisoner in Gaza.
In direct appeal to the US President, he added: “Use your influence with Prime Minister Netanyahu.”

In the last few days, Israeli diplomatic isolation has been deeper. Some Western allies who were close to Britain, France, Canada, and Australia-officially recognized the state of Palestinian, signaling the shift from the traditional position led by the US.
The roadmap proposed by Trump included a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israel from Gaza, the release of hostages, and the big waves of humanitarian assistance. Arab and Muslim leaders have welcomed the proposal but insist that Israel must immediately stop its military operations and refrain from occupying Gaza.
But the parts of the plan are proven to be politically poisonous to Netanyahu. The most important thing is the proposed return from the Palestinian Authority (PA) to govern the red Gaza-Grish for many people in the right-wing coalition. Gaza PA which was previously controlled until Hamas confiscated power in 2007.
While the US plan is binding the role of PA with significant internal reforms, Eytan Gilboa warns that this change “can take years” to be applied.
Netanyahu’s right -wing coalition partner has threatened to attract support if he agreed to PA’s involvement or stop the decisive military operation from Hamas. The threat has increased the possibility of a political crisis within the Israeli government.
To compensate for pressure, the opposition leader Yair Lapid has offered to provide “safety net” for potential agreements. The Yesh Atid Sentric Party has promised to support a ceasefire and a hostage release agreement, but whether other opposition factions will follow it uncertain.
“This broad plan will require broad consensus,” said Ksenia Svetlova, a former member of Knesset and the head of the Regional NGO. He predicted that Netanyahu was likely to receive selected components from the US proposal when trying to delay or re -negotiate others “which seems difficult at this time.”
A very thorny problem is a question about who will maintain security in Gaza after the potential withdrawal and disarmament of Hamas Israel. Trump’s plan to imagine multinational troops consisting of Palestinian personnel and troops from Arab and Muslim countries.
But the main operational details remain gloomy, including who will lead the strength and how the order will be structured.
“This plan is an internationalization of the Gaza conflict in a way that has never happened before,” Svetlova said, “but without a clear plan about who will be a guide star, what is the final goal, who will see it.”
“The uncertainty factor becomes wild here, really,” he added.
When Netanyahu headed for Talks with Trump, he did it at a crossroads – under pressure to end the war, bring home hostages, and save his reign, all of them while navigating the highly polarized political landscape and global consensus that shifted about Gaza’s future.
