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.
