‘An exchange of ideas’: Inside Netanyahu’s Oval Office meeting with Trump
Israeli official says PM refrained from advocating for striking Iran, as he had in previous meeting, but that he won't wait for a green light if Iran attacks Israel; also insists premier and US president are like a 'married couple' who 'finish each other's sentences'
During a recent Oval Office meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump engaged in an "exchange of ideas" regarding three scenarios for Iran: a diplomatic agreement, continued economic pressure, or a new offensive. A senior Israeli official stated Netanyahu did not advocate for a specific option but discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each in preventing a nuclear Iran. Netanyahu expressed doubts about Iran upholding any agreement and emphasized intensifying economic pressure without destabilizing the global economy, noting Iran's weakened state and internal economic turmoil. The leaders also discussed Israel's presence in Syria and Lebanon, with Netanyahu using visuals to counter Trump's assumptions about Israeli territorial control. Netanyahu also raised concerns about selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, citing President Erdogan's ambitions.
