Israeli PM gives full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser after he sparked outrage with stiff-armed gesture.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is invited to visit Viktor Orbán’s Hungary despite an outstanding International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest, the EU nation’s foreign minister said.

The Israeli prime minister has to navigate complicated domestic politics with his aim of destroying Hamas and the need to keep the US on side.

The Israeli Cabinet was set to meet Thursday to approve a cease-fire and hostage-release deal with Hamas in Gaza brokered by the U.S., Qatar and Egypt, raising hopes for the end of a 15-month war which killed tens of thousands of people.

Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the claim that Elon Musk performed a Sieg Heil salute at a rally for President Donald Trump on Inauguration Day.

When asked whether the Gaza ceasefire will hold, President Donald Trump declared that he wasn't confident. He might as well be talking about his pet diplomatic project in the Middle East.

Poland joined other EU countries in allowing the Israeli leader entry without threat of arrest, this time for a ceremony commemorating the liberation of Auschwitz — which Netanyahu had no intention of attending anyway.

The deal was set to be ratified by the Israeli Cabinet on Thursday. But Netanyahu says, without specifying, that Hamas has gone back on several parts of the ceasefire deal at the last minute.

Israel said it will maintain control of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip during the first phase of the ceasefire with Hamas. A statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Wednesday denied reports that the Palestinian Authority would control the crossing.

He also served as the 45th US President from 2016-2020, and has announced a slew of changes in American policies internally and with respect to borders, ceasefires and tariffs.
