WASHINGTON (AP) — A
beaming Donald Trump
welcomed Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netan-
yahu to their first face-to-
face meeting in nearly four
years on Friday, patching
up a political alliance im-
portant to both men that
had broken down when
the Israeli leader offended
Trump by being one of the
first to congratulate Joe
Biden on his 2020 presiden-
tial victory.
Asked by journalists if his
U.S. trip was making prog-
ress toward a Gaza cease-
fire at home, Netanyahu
said, “I hope so,” and add-
ed that Israel was eager for
an agreement.
Netanyahu handed Trump
a framed photo that the
Israeli leader said showed
a child who has been held
hostage by Hamas-led mili-
tants since the first hours of Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks as he meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, Friday, July 26, 2024, in Palm Beach, Fla.
