Former United States President Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, projecting a friendly atmosphere despite concerns over United States-Israel relations. Trump expressed strong support for Israel, indicating he would back an Israeli strike if Iran resumes its missile and nuclear programs, and warned of severe consequences for Hamas if they do not disarm soon. The leaders discussed the ongoing conflict in Gaza, but Trump avoided giving a clear answer on the timing of a ceasefire's second phase, while Netanyahu insisted on significant reforms from the Palestinian Authority before any postwar role in Gaza. The meeting also sparked controversy after Trump claimed President Isaac Herzog promised a pardon for Netanyahu, a statement Herzog has denied. Trump was informed during the meeting that he will receive the Israel Prize for his contributions to the Jewish people, raising speculation about a possible visit to Israel on Independence Day.
