Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump had focused on freeing hostages held in Gaza, as Israel continued to pound the Palestinian territory amid efforts to reach a ceasefire.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House on Tuesday for a second time in 24 hours to discuss the possible ceasefire deal in Gaza. The unannounced Oval Office meeting—the premier’s fourth with Trump in six months—was closed to the media and lasted around 90 minutes.
