By Jennifer Hansler and Alex Marquardt
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to deliver a critical speech to Congress today, addressing a joint meeting amid growing optimism for a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict.
The Prime Minister's address comes at a pivotal moment in the ongoing negotiations. Netanyahu has stated his intention to present "the truth about the war against Hamas in Gaza" to the U.S. government and public.
The speech is expected to have significant implications for the Middle East peace process and Israel's relationship with the United States. Netanyahu is likely to outline his vision for a viable solution to the conflict and address concerns raised by U.S. officials.
The Prime Minister's trip to Washington coincides with a surge in diplomatic efforts. Representatives from Israel, Hamas, Egypt, and other regional powers are engaged in intense negotiations aimed at ending the fighting in Gaza.
According to sources close to the negotiations, there is growing optimism that a ceasefire agreement may be reached in the coming days. The truce would halt the ongoing military operations between Israel and Hamas and pave the way for political dialogue.
