PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday at Mar‑a‑Lago to urge progress on the Gaza ceasefire and to discuss a planned transitional Palestinian technocratic authority and an international stabilization force. Netanyahu also raised concerns about Iran’s missile program and sought stronger U.S. action against Tehran. The leaders held the meeting at 1 p.m. ET after Netanyahu met Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Israeli officials said discussions would prioritize disarming Hamas and recovering remains of hostages. U.S. officials warned both sides risked slow‑walking the next phase. Based on 11 articles reviewed and supporting research.
