On December 29, President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The encounter was their sixth since Trump returned to office on January 20, 2025. During a\u00a0press briefing<\/a>, Trump\u00a0indicated<\/a>\u00a0that he and Netanyahu are aligned on the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire plan and\u00a0warned<\/a>\u00a0Hamas that there would be \u201chell to pay\u201d if it does not disarm within a \u201cvery short period.\u201d Trump also repeated his claim that other countries are willing to disarm Hamas. While Trump has\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0this several times in recent months, no country has yet announced plans to join the International Stabilization Force contained in his peace plan for Gaza. Trump claimed that Israeli President Isaac Herzog had told him that a pardon for Netanyahu, who is facing a corruption trial, was \u201con its way,\u201d an assertion that Herzog later\u00a0denied<\/a>.<\/p>\n
