Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich issued demands on Monday ahead of Netanyahu's expected meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.

He insisted Netanyahu must not end the war in Gaza before the "complete defeat of Hamas" and should return from the meeting with U.S. approval for full Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank.

Smotrich also reiterated his opposition to any role for the Palestinian Authority in Gaza and rejected the deployment of multinational forces in areas Israel controls.
