U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the American leader’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, on Dec. 29, where the leaders discussed updates on the future of the Gaza Strip and continued security threats within the region around Israel.

Trump warned Iran not to resume pursuing a nuclear weapons program at the threat of subsequent strikes, said it would be “horrible” for Hamas if the terrorist organization doesn’t disarm, indicated that his first administration’s Abraham Accords peace agreement would be expanded, and offered some updates on relations with Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon.
