Trump, Netanyahu meet Tuesday amid rift over Iran war
Why it matters: The talks come as Trump faces pressure to end a costly conflict and Netanyahu pushes new intelligence on Iran's nuclear program.
President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet Tuesday in their first face-to-face talks since the U.S. and Israel launched war against Iran in February. The meeting comes after visible strains opened between the two leaders over how to handle the conflict, with Trump seeking a deal with Tehran while Netanyahu has wanted to keep up military pressure on Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The White House expects them also to discuss a U.S.-Israel framework agreement with Lebanon tied to the Israel-Hezbollah war and possible expansion of the Abraham Accords. The visit lands as Trump confronts voter anger over higher prices and war costs, while Netanyahu heads into reelection pressure at home.
