President Trump is scheduled to meet Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz at the White House, Reuters reported. Trump is preparing to unveil his Mideast peace plan after a long delay. Trump first will meet with Netanyahu, leader of the conservative Likud party, and then with Gantz, whose centrist Blue and White party nearly tied with Likud in Israel's last election. Neither leader managed to pull together a ruling coalition, so Israelis will vote again in March to break the deadlock. Trump reportedly plans to share some of the details of his peace plan with Netanyahu and Gantz, who on Saturday said the plan would be a "meaningful landmark mapping the way for the different players in the Middle East to finally move forward towards an historical and regional agreement."
