Netanyahu, Trump see 'eye to eye' on Iran
Netanyahu said he's spoken to Trump three times since the election.
The Israel Defense Forces continued its intense airstrike and ground campaigns in Gaza -- particularly in the north of the strip -- and in Lebanon, with Israeli attacks on targets nationwide including in the capital Beirut.
Tensions remain high between Israel and Iran after the former launched what it called "precise strikes on military targets" in several locations in Iran following Tehran's Oct. 1 missile barrage.

IDF reports 'dozens' of strikes in Lebanon, Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces said on X on Sunday that its troops struck "dozens of terror targets" in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip over the previous 24 hours.
The IDF said offensive operations continued in Lebanon, Jabalia and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza and Rafah in the south of the strip. The northern part of the territory has been the focus of an intense Israeli offensive for the past month, with residents there subject to open-ended evacuation orders.
The force claimed to have "eliminated" dozens of enemy fighters and dismantled "terror infrastructure sites" and weapons storage facilities in the north and south of Gaza.
Israeli warplanes struck Hezbollah targets including "weapons storage facilities, launchers and launch sites" in Lebanon, the IDF said.
Qatar moves to expel Hamas political leadership following US request
Qatar has taken steps to expel Hamas’ political leadership from Doha following a request to do so from the U.S. after the group rejected the most recent proposal for a short-term cease-fire in Gaza in exchange for the release of several hostages, according to multiple Biden administration officials familiar with the matter.
"Its leaders should no longer be welcome in the capitals of any American partner. We made that clear to Qatar following Hamas’s rejection weeks ago of another hostage release proposal," a senior administration official. “Their continued presence in Doha is no longer viable or acceptable.”
Accordingly, Qatar is also taking a step back from its mediator role, the Qatari Foreign Ministry announced today. But a U.S. official said that the country could reengage with Hamas if it was deemed potentially productive and that Egypt will continue to interface with members of the group as negotiators attempt to push various proposals forward. But, the odds of any agreement coming together in the near future appear very slim.
Since the attacks of Oct. 7, the Biden administration has repeatedly said countries cannot continue “business as usual” with Hamas --but delayed pressuring Qatar to shut down Hamas’ political office in Doha to facilitate cease-fire talks.
Hamas was given notice by Qatar roughly 10 days ago, an official added, but no timeline has been set for the group’s departure or any next steps. Whether Qatar will follow through and evict Hamas leaders remains unclear.
A spokesperson from the Qatari Foreign Ministry said Saturday that media reports on the matter -- which align with the White House’s version of events -- were "inaccurate" without specifying which details he was objecting to or correcting the record.
