U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House on Tuesday for a second time in 24 hours to discuss the possible ceasefire deal in Gaza. The unannounced Oval Office meeting—the premier’s fourth with Trump in six months—was closed to the media and lasted around 90 minutes.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump focused on freeing hostages held in Gaza, and stressed his determination to "eliminate" the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas.
