Trump and Netanyahu to meet... Meeting agenda finalized: Turkey is also on the list

As tensions in the Middle East escalate due to Israel's operations in the Gaza Strip and its attacks on Lebanon and Syria, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump will hold a critical summit in Washington tomorrow. It has been reported that the meeting's agenda will include not only regional issues but also Turkey as a specific topic.

FIRST FACE-TO-FACE MEETING  

The first face-to-face meeting between the two allies since the Donald Trump administration took office in the US will be held in Washington. While Israel continues its military operations in the Gaza Strip, as well as in Lebanon and Syria, it seeks to further solidify its strategic alliance with the US.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office shared details regarding the meeting on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. The statement noted, "Prime Minister Netanyahu will depart for Washington tomorrow at the invitation of US President Donald Trump."

MEETING AGENDA FINALIZED: TURKEY IS ALSO ON THE LIST 

In the official statement, the topics to be discussed between Netanyahu and Trump were listed. Accordingly, the agenda includes the following:

US customs tariffs imposed on certain countries,

Efforts for the return of Israeli citizens held hostage in Gaza,

Israel-Turkey relations,

Iran's regional threats,

The tension between Israel and the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the strategy to be pursued against this institution.

ISRAEL-TURKEY RELATIONS BACK ON THE TABLE 

Relations between the two countries have entered a highly sensitive period due to recent diplomatic tensions, mutual statements, and civilian casualties in Gaza. The explicit mention of Turkey in the meeting between Netanyahu and Trump is considered a significant signal that relations could be reshaped.

Another key topic of the meeting will be Iran. Israel views Iran's nuclear activities and its ties with armed groups in the region as a threat. Furthermore, the legal crisis Israel is facing with the International Criminal Court due to its operations in Gaza stands out as one of the important agenda items to be discussed by the leaders.
