Pressure mounts on Netanyahu to secure Gaza ceasefire deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, while Israeli officials hold indirect talks with Hamas, aimed at a US-brokered Gaza hostage-release and ceasefire deal. Netanyahu is facing “immense” pressure from both Trump and the Israeli public to secure a deal and bring the remaining Israeli hostages home, says France 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky, but this may not necessarily mean a ceasefire will be agreed, she says.
