The two leaders addressed the delegation\u2019s mandate to advance the deal in Doha. President Biden highlighted significant regional changes, including the Lebanon ceasefire agreement, the collapse of Assad\u2019s regime in Syria, and the weakening of Iran\u2019s influence, which provide a critical backdrop for advancing the deal. Biden emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza and the return of hostages, paired with increased humanitarian aid to Gaza post-conflict. Netanyahu expressed gratitude for Biden\u2019s unwavering support for Israel\u2019s security and national interests.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12953\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bibibiden-visit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bibibiden-visit.jpg 800w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bibibiden-visit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bibibiden-visit-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netanyahu During Biden&#8217;s Visit to Israel | Photo: Miriam Alster\/Flash90<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Broad Support for the Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Netanyahu held discussions with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to garner broad political backing for the proposed hostage deal. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of strong ties with the U.S. administration and the opportunity this agreement presents for advancing future plans in the West Bank. Netanyahu received indications that Smotrich and Ben Gvir are unlikely to dismantle the government should the deal be approved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump\u2019s Involvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speculation suggests that incoming U.S. President Donald Trump is eager to resolve the hostage situation before his inauguration on January 20.
