"You have to finish up your war. To finish it up. You gotta get it done," Trump told Israel Hayom in March. "I am sure you will do that, and we gotta get to peace, we can't have this going on."
Matt Brooks, the CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition, told JNS last week that he interprets Trump's call to finish the war as a "blank cheque" for the Israel Defence Forces.
Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday, seeking to solidify bipartisan support for Israel following US President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 election.
On Wednesday, Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress during which he plans to present a "new way" of dealing with the threat that Iran presents and highlight Jerusalem's efforts to achieve victory over Hamas, said an Israeli official familiar with the plans.
Netanyahu's office said on Tuesday that Biden invited him to the White House on Thursday afternoon, but the White House has not yet confirmed that meeting.
As part of his visit, Netanyahu is also scheduled to meet with US Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden has endorsed for the Democratic nomination for president.
