An Israeli official has confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a formal meeting with U.S. President Donald J. Trump at the White House this coming Monday. The visit comes at a critical juncture in Middle East affairs, following the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran, and ongoing instability in Gaza and Lebanon.
Sources suggest that the agenda will include discussions on Iran’s nuclear program, regional security coordination, and U.S. sanctions policy, particularly following reports of Trump’s planned executive order easing sanctions on Syria while maintaining pressure on Iran-backed militias.
This will be Netanyahu’s first White House visit since the outbreak of the Iran–Israel war. The meeting may also set the tone for broader strategic realignment, especially in light of Trump’s recent declarations against renewing the JCPOA and his warnings toward Tehran.
Israeli and American officials have both emphasized the meeting’s strategic importance, and it is expected to produce strong defense cooperation statements and possibly further military aid pledges to Israel.
