Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has travelled to Florida to meet former President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. His visit, meant to reduce tensions between the two leaders, comes after Mr Netanyahu met with US President Joe Biden and Vice-president Kamala Harris.

The relationship has been put to the test in recent years with Mr Netanyahu congratulating Joe Biden on his 2020 election victory, which Mr Trump falsely claimed was stolen. Mr Netanyahu’s visit to Florida was seen as critical, particularly because there is a growing feeling in his camp that if Vice President Harris wins, she may not be as forward-leaning in her support for Israel as Mr Biden.
Mr Netanyahu hopes his U-S trip will lead to a quicker ceasefire deal, adding that his government was trying to get one. According to Israeli tallies, when Hamas-led gunmen burst into southern Israel from occupied Gaza on the 7th of October, they killed 1,200 people and took more than 250 people hostage.
