Trump and Netanyahu meet at White House as Iran strains ties
What's at stake: The talks also covered Gaza and a fragile Israel-Lebanon framework as Trump pushes diplomacy over new US strikes.
President Donald Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on July 28 in their first in-person talks since the Iran war began, with public friction between the two leaders hanging over the meeting. Ahead of the talks, Trump complained that details of Netanyahu’s planned case on Iran had leaked, saying he did not need to be told publicly to stay involved. The meeting was expected to focus on Iran after Washington paused airstrikes to give diplomacy another chance. Gaza and the troubled implementation of a US-backed June deal between Israel and Lebanon were also on the agenda.
