Sam Metz is a reporter for the Associated Press and explained to us the stakes for Israel.

But in the end, Trump stopped short of agreeing to Israel's wish list.

There are challenges for Trump when it comes to phase two of the peace plan in Palestine.

Before Netanyahu's visit to the U.S., his cabinet passed a number of laws aimed at strengthening Israeli control of the occupied West Bank.

The measures expand Israel's authority over land use in sections run by the Palestinian Authority, making it simpler for settlers to coerce Palestinians to cede the land.

The ceasefire brokered by the U.S.

between Israel and Hamas recognized Palestinians' goal of statehood.

Trump has said he will not let Israel annex the West Bank.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the new measures dangerous and illegal.

Israel's moves have also been met with international outrage.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Israel is circumventing Palestinians' control of their destiny.

Trump's port of peace is expected to gather in Washington, D.C.

next week.

It's been reported that the meeting is to raise funds for Gaza's reconstruction.

Some U.S.

allies have declined to join over concerns that it will sidestep the U.N.

Detention facilities holding immigrants across the country have received a lot of attention and scrutiny in Trump's second term.

We spoke about one on the show recently where two migrants died in January.

The Associated Press writes that the conditions are forcing some detainees to seek a return to their countries of origin.

And yet, they find themselves stuck.
