Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have led to significant civilian casualties, including 28 Palestinians. President Trump is negotiating a possible ceasefire, but talks with Israeli PM Netanyahu have yet to yield results.

Trump says Israel has agreed to conditions for a Gaza ceasefire and he's urging Hamas to back it, but neither side has committed to anything yet.

Trump is counting on the threat of more attacks to pressure Tehran into a nuclear agreement, but Israel is skeptical a pact would prevent Iran from moving toward a nuclear weapon.

Mr. Trump is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next Monday. The president told reporters Tuesday he expects to discuss both Gaza and Iran, which struck a separate ceasefire deal with Israel last week after a 12-day campaign between the two countries that included U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
