Israel’s Peace Talks - Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump Meet Tonight

Posted July 7, 2025 | End Times Watch | River Wilde

On Monday, July 7, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington for his third visit this year to the White House, this time for an intimate dinner with President Donald Trump. The agenda was packed: securing a 60‑day Gaza ceasefire, finalizing hostage release arrangements, planning a post-conflict Gaza strategy, and leveraging recent airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites for broader regional diplomacy.

At the heart of today’s evening: pushing forward a U.S.-backed proposal for a 60‑day ceasefire in Gaza featuring phased Israeli troop withdrawal, humanitarian aid corridors, and structured hostage releases. Indirect negotiations in Doha are already underway—officials describe the atmosphere as “positive”, though both sides disagree on key details.

Trump made headlines with optimism, declaring that “a good chance” exists for a deal this week.

With around 50 hostages remaining, Netanyahu emphasized today that the return of “quite a few” can be accelerated. Hamas has already responded positively to the ceasefire framework.

But deep divides persist. Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal, while Israel insists the war won’t end until Hamas is disarmed.

Eurovision-Style Strategy: Gaza, Iran & the “New Middle East”

Riding high on recent strategic gains—U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June—this summit aimed to capitalize on momentum.

Netanyahu has publicly thanked Trump for supporting these strikes, calling them a “historic turning point”.

Administratively detached: Trump used the occasion not only for diplomacy, but also to push trade announcements and upcoming executive orders—a flurry of home-and-abroad messaging in one opportune evening.

Plotting Long‑Term Peace: Beyond the Fighting

Besides short-term truce aims, the powerful duo hinted at a vision for Gaza’s future—from governance and reconstruction to exploring normalization with Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu’s team called it building a “new Middle East“.

High‑Stakes Politics on Both Sides

• Domestically, Netanyahu faces resistance from hard‑liners in his coalition wary of a ceasefire—but public and military fatigue may push his hand.
• Trump, seeking to bolster his diplomatic legacy, is also pushing back on enemies of the deal—including urging to delay Netanyahu’s legal troubles.

What’s Next?

1. Tonight’s dinner sets the tone—but any deal will hinge on success in Doha and foreign pledges to monitor aid and troop withdrawals.
2. Illicit momentum forms as Trump and Netanyahu capitalize on the Iran strikes—yet real breakthroughs require bridging ideological and military chasms.
3. Public expectations are rising fast. If a deal fails, internal pressure on both leaders could grow—especially with hostages, civilian lives, and war fatigue at the forefront.

Final Takeaway

Today’s dinner was more than symbolic—it was strategic. Trump and Netanyahu are seizing a window: combining battlefield leverage, diplomatic boldness, and political will. If the cards fall right, a temporary ceasefire could become the foundation for long-term peace in Gaza and a “new Middle East.” But the journey is fraught with friction—on the right flank, from hardliners, and in the sands of post-war reconstruction.

Stay tuned: Doha’s next round may be where tonight’s diplomacy proves its mettle—turning high-stakes hope into real change.

For those of us studying the end-times, you can just feel prophecy moving the events that are happening in the world. When it seems that peace will never come to Israel, there is this constant movement towards making the impossible happen.

As we have learned in prior writings, the 7-year tribulation period must start in 2025, which allows Christ to return in the year 2032 as demonstrated in the time table listed below.

2025 + 7= 2032, and 2032 is the latest that Christ can return. Jesus died and was resurrected in 32AD. 2000 + 32= 2032.

As we know, the 7-year Tribulation Period will begin with the signing of Israels 7-year peace agreement, which allows the building of the temple in Israel upon the temple mount. All eyes are on Israel and any peace talks like those which are happening tonight. As always, I will keep you posted on any new developments regarding this historic event happening.
