Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House for his first in-person talks with President Donald Trump since the Iran war began, as the leaders sought to address public disagreements on the conflict. The meeting, held behind closed doors, was expected to focus on the ongoing war, which began with U.S. And Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
Netanyahu’s visit came amid growing tensions, with reports that Iran had launched attacks targeting Israeli interests, prompting Israeli officials to emphasize the country’s security stance. Meanwhile, U.S. Officials, including several cabinet members and Vice President JD Vance, attended a closed-door meeting with Trump and Netanyahu, highlighting the high-level coordination between the two nations.
The visit also followed reports of public dissent in Turkey, where protesters burned images of Netanyahu in protest against Israel and the U.S.. In addition, Netanyahu was reportedly in the U.S. Under the radar after convening a cabinet meeting in an underground facility, suggesting heightened security concerns.
As the war continues, both sides remain locked in a complex diplomatic and military struggle, with international observers closely monitoring developments.
