Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel started his journey to Washington D.C. on Sunday as he wanted to develop stronger relationships with President Donald Trump after facing rough times under the Biden administration. Netanyahu makes his initial White House visit since Trump took office last month and it represents his first U.S. stop since becoming prime minister once again in late 2022.
The prime minister pointed out at Ben Gurion Airport that Israel’s military choices from recent times have created a new situation across the Middle East. He declared that military choices from the conflict have already transformed how the Israeli region looks. The combination of operational decisions along with military bravery from our soldiers has led to a new map formation. The both of us will work with President Trump to make further improvements toward a better future.
The temporary truce in Gaza continues to stand while negotiations have started for a forthcoming stage of the agreement. Diplomatic efforts of Netanyahu face new obstacles because he is traveling to Washington just after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for war crimes during the Gaza conflict. 
Netanyahu depends heavily on his relationship with Trump because of the heated conflict he faced with Biden regarding Gaza policy. The Israeli leader faces a delicate situation according to analysts because he must manage support from Trump against home pressure from right-wing political allies.
The world watches Netanyahu during his Washington visit to observe how he will shape the transforming political map of the Middle East.
