One of the critical issues to be discussed tonight between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their meeting at the Oval Office is Qatar's involvement in the reconstruction and administration of the Gaza Strip, Ynet has learned. Qatar wants to be the dominant factor in the Strip, while Israel – following the deterioration of relations with Qatar – wants to minimize Qatar's influence in the Strip in the 'day after.' As of yesterday, a compromise on the matter was taking shape. Another issue is the IDF's freedom of operation in case Hamas strengthens, rebuilds, stockpiles weapons and more. Israel has requested in its contacts with the American administration that it be clearly declared that the IDF has freedom of operation to remove terrorist threats from Gaza.
