TEL AVIV, Israel \u2014 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington for a second meeting since President Trump took office and as Israel’s war in Gaza marks a year and a half. Netanyahu says he expects to discuss efforts to release Israeli hostages from Gaza, as well as new U.S. tariffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration imposed 17% tariffs on Israel as part of new trade measures on goods from many countries.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu is facing pressure at home from former Israeli security chiefs, protesters and the families of hostages still held in Gaza to return to ceasefire negotiations, which his far-right coalition has resisted.<\/p>\n

The meeting with Trump comes on the 18-month mark since Israel’s war in Gaza began, following the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel. Israel has ramped up its military offensive since ending two months of ceasefire. It has also enforced five weeks of a blockade on aid and goods into the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
