In a high-stakes meeting at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explored divisive agendas concerning the future of Palestinians in Gaza and scheduled talks with Iran about lifting sanctions.

The discussions between the leaders sparked international criticism and protests, as Gazans and human rights advocates condemned Netanyahu's proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, perceiving it as ethnic cleansing.

Amidst ongoing indirect negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel's tough military stance has drawn widespread attention, with rising civilian casualties and food shortages raising alarms globally. The situation remains tense as diplomatic efforts continue in Doha to broker a lasting peace agreement.
