US President Donald Trump and his senior advisers voiced concerns to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israeli policies in the West Bank during meetings in West Palm Beach. The discussions focused on issues such as settler violence, the expansion of settlements, and Israel's withholding of tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority, which has pushed the Ramallah-based government toward collapse. While the talks were described as cordial, Washington emphasized that instability in the West Bank could undermine efforts to stabilize the Gaza Strip and advance regional agreements. Trump later stated that although he and Netanyahu do not agree on everything, he trusts the Israeli leader to make the right decisions, as Netanyahu faces pressure from far-right coalition partners.
