Sept. 29 (UPI) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting Monday at the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss a possible cease-fire in the war in Gaza.

Trump told NBC News he was optimistic about the outcome of the meeting and for the release of hostages held by Hamas.

“We’re doing very well. It looks like there is a really good chance for peace in the Middle East,” Trump told the outlet. “Everybody is on board. Everybody.”

One unnamed senior administration official who previously confirmed the meeting to Politico said that Trump believes Netanyahu is losing his hold on power.

“Bibi is on his own island,” one of the officials, using a nickname for Netanyahu, told Politico. “Not just from us, from his own government.”

Trump has a 21-point plan put together by son-in-law and former adviser Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and special Steve Witkoff. An unnamed source familiar with the plan told Politico it includes no annexation of the West Bank, an international trusteeship for Gaza, and an Arab and Muslim international security force.

Israel has been under growing pressure from the international community to end the war in Gaza, which has spurred famine and a humanitarian crisis among the Palestinians.

The leaders of several countries, including Australia, Britain, Canada and France, formally recognized an independent Palestine on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly’s general debate in New York City last week. During Netanyahu’s speech before the assembly, dozens of representatives stood up and left the General Assembly Hall in protest.
