President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday for a 90-minute session in the Oval Office. The meeting was their first in-person discussion since the start of joint military operations against Iran.
The talks focused on Iran’s nuclear program, regional security, plans for Gaza, arrangements in Lebanon, and the expansion of the Abraham Accords. Senior U.S. officials attended, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Before the meeting, Trump publicly questioned reports that Netanyahu intended to present intelligence regarding an Iranian nuclear facility at Pickaxe Mountain, saying U.S. officials were already aware of the site.
Following the sit-down, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the session productive. Netanyahu stated that the two leaders shared common goals regarding Iran, and Trump posted on social media that the discussions went well. Both leaders later left to attend a memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham.
