US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a closed-door meeting at the White House on Tuesday, with Iran dominating the agenda amid reports of recent disagreements between the two leaders over Washington’s approach toward Tehran.
The meeting lasted approximately 90 minutes and was held without press access. Both the White House and Netanyahu’s office later described the talks as “productive.”
According to Netanyahu’s communications director, Tzipi Hotovely, the Israeli prime minister did not seek to pressure Trump into adopting a particular policy toward Iran.
“There is no truth in the claim that Israel is pushing the US in a certain direction on the Iran issue,” Hotovely told reporters, adding that both governments oppose Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt likewise described the meeting as “good and productive.”
Israeli officials said the leaders also discussed the possibility of Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel.
According to Hotovely, the talks did not include the proposed US sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey.
Following the meeting, Netanyahu said it was “one of the best” conversations he has had with Trump.
The meeting came after weeks of reported friction over US policy toward Iran.

Ahead of Netanyahu’s visit, Trump publicly dismissed suggestions that he needed the Israeli leader’s assessment of Iran’s nuclear activities, while recent media reports described growing differences between Washington and Tel Aviv over the trajectory of the war and possible diplomatic efforts.

“good and productive” for them means horribly bad for humanity.
This is a load of BS. Israel has nukes, the US has nukes and has used them on civilians. This meeting is NOT about Iran fictional nukes. When Netanyahu comes to town, the US always does some sickening evil thing that Israel wants. Right now, congress is approving the NDAA pro-Israel amendment that allows Israelis to own us all, no more constitution or human rights here in the US, thanks to Israel. In the West Bank and Lebanon, Trump will sign it off to Israel. In Gaza, Trump will give it all to (his American white supremacist) Netanyahu.
I stopped following MSM, which since the so called ‘ceasefire’ have done close to zero reporting on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Therefore, I chose to focus on Palestinian news outlets and however horrible the atrocities done the Palestinians, they keep up a very professional and – to my understanding – unbiased approach on geopolitics.
As I have come to see things, nowhere is the US-Israeli relationship better worded than in the book of Revelation, which says: ‘…it (the second beast of Revelation 13 – meaning Israel) executes the power of the first beast…’ (the USA). This becomes even more true with the merging of much of both armies, with all intelligence and technology sharing.
