It is a visit that initial media reports claimed had been requested by Trump, which would underline the value of the relationship to the US president. Nevertheless, there have also been some suggestions that Netanyahu, working through his Embassy in Washington and employing the considerable resources of the domestic US Israel Lobby, might have been the real force behind the fifth such meeting in Washington this year plus an additional meeting in on October 13th in Israel to celebrate the non-ceasefire with Gaza which was being promoted as some kind of victory.

To look at it all another way, both Trump and Netanyahu have somewhat clashing viewpoints that they will likely be promoting when the two men finally sit down and talk. Trump, who set up a ceasefire that is 90% fake, giving Israel a free hand which it has used to kill more Gazans while also taking de facto control of most of historic Gaza through expansion of its "yellow line" security zone, will seek to sustain the fraud by convincing Israel to reign in its aggression just enough to allow the so-called "Trump Peace Plan" to proceed to its next phase. That will give Trump a new property to name after himself in reconstructed Gaza and will also strengthen his claim on the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize which he clearly so strongly desires and it will also mute criticism of his foreign policy that is increasingly coming primarily from within the younger ranks of MAGA itself.

Netanyahu, who has made clear that there will be no Palestinian entity that has actual sovereignty will be willing to play the game up to a point, but he will quite possibly be demanding his own quid pro quo, which will be a joint attack on Iran. Netanyahu's argument will likely center on the Iranian acquisition as well as independent development of a superior missile inventory which has shifted the balance of forces in the Middle East. Netanyahu is not likely to raise the claimed "threat" posed by Iran's alleged secret nuclear weapons development as Trump continues to insist that the US attack on Iran in June "obliterated" the nuclear program.

And Netanyahu might also be selling a radical new idea that he is promoting which will involve the posting of armed paramilitaries trained and commanded by Israel in various places in the world where there are large Jewish communities. In a recent interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expanded on his proposal, arguing in some detail how he would deploy armed Jewish security guards globally, modeled on Israel's own armed civilian–settler security authorities. Referring to the recent attack on a Hanukkah gathering in Australia, Netanyahu argued that five to fifteen armed guards would have "ended it immediately," adding: "That's what we've seen time and again in Israel… the world has changed, recognize the change." This protection force has been described in the Israeli media as a "Jewish People's Guard," a permanent global security structure, operating across borders, coordinated with Israel. Its presence would be a given in the United States and other friendly governments and, where feasible, actually paid in part by and integrated with local law enforcement.
