Trump Calls Iran's Response to Latest US Ceasefire Proposal 'Totally Unacceptable'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is scheduled to visit President Donald Trump on Feb. 4, <a href="https://x.com/IsraeliPM/status/1884306105951740082" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">according</a> to a Jan. 28 announcement, making Netanyahu the first foreign leader to visit the White House since Trump took office.

The White House has yet to comment on the upcoming visit.

The visit was announced just over a week since a cease-fire was implemented between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group to at least temporarily halt the fighting. The deal was mediated by Qatar with both the outgoing Biden and incoming Trump administrations playing a role in what has resulted so far in the release of seven Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Since taking office on Jan. 20, Trump has lifted the Biden administration’s hold on 20,000-pound bombs for Israel, lifted sanctions on Israeli people and entities in the West Bank, and signed an executive <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-othernational-security-and-public-safety-threats/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">order</a> that allows for those expressing pro-Hamas views who are on U.S. visas to be deported.

During his first administration, Trump relocated the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, withdrew the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, eliminated Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, and brokered the Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco.

In November, Netanyahu <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/netanyahu-says-he-has-spoken-to-trump-3-times-since-he-won-5757370" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">said</a> he spoke to Trump several times since the latter won the 2024 election.
<div class="my-5">“These were very good and important talks designed to further enhance the steadfast bond between Israel and the U.S.,” Netanyahu <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://x.com/IsraeliPM/status/1855633140947026132" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">said</a> in a video posted on social media platform  X on Nov. 10.</div>
“We see eye-to-eye on the Iranian threat in all its aspects, and on the dangers they reflect. We also see the great opportunities facing Israel, in the area of peace and its expansion, and in other areas,” he continued.

Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to congratulate Trump on his electoral victory.
<div class="my-5">“Dear Donald and Melania Trump, Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!” he <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://x.com/netanyahu/status/1854070348926328965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">posted</a> on X early Nov. 6. “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America.”</div>
