Why This Time Around, Netanyahu’s Meeting with Trump Might Not Go to Script
Netanyahu visits the White House to influence Trump's Iran policy, seeking U.S. backing amid regional tensions and the Israeli leader's critical election.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday for their eighth meeting since Trump returned to office, following Trump's July 24 claim that Israel would not survive without his leadership.
- Their relationship has markedly shifted five months after initial cooperation, with Trump privately calling Netanyahu "crazy" and "difficult" for continuing bombing campaigns in Lebanon that threatened a ceasefire.
- Trump dismissed Netanyahu's objections to fighter jet sales to Turkey on Monday, stating "nobody dictates the sales but him," while Netanyahu was caught off guard by a Saudi nuclear deal lacking normalization provisions with Israel.
- Netanyahu faces a crucial national election in three months, with recent polls showing him falling far short of the majority needed to secure another term and maintain his political survival.
- Trump pursues renewed negotiations with the Iranian regime while Netanyahu plans to present fresh intelligence on Iran's nuclear rebuilding; the Israeli leader intends to oppose U.S. requests to withdraw forces from Lebanon and Syria.
