Israeli Leader Emphasizes Strong U.S.-Israel Relationship
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he is traveling to the United States to meet President Donald Trump, focusing on issues in Gaza and the negotiations with Iran. Netanyahu highlighted the close bond between the two countries and his personal rapport with Trump.
“I am leaving for the United States for my seventh visit to meet President Trump since he began his second term. This does not include his historic visit to Israel and his Knesset speech,” Netanyahu said, according to the Israeli government.
He called the relationship between Israel and the U.S. “unprecedented in our history” and noted that the two leaders share a strong personal connection.
Agenda Includes Gaza and Iran Nuclear Talks
Netanyahu explained that the discussions would cover a range of regional issues, with a primary focus on Iran.
“On this trip, we will address Gaza, the broader region, and, most importantly, the principles guiding the negotiations with Iran. I will present Israel’s perspective, which I believe is critical not only for Israel but for all nations that seek peace and security in the Middle East,” he said.
Meanwhile, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital that Trump and Netanyahu maintain a strong partnership.
“President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have a great relationship. Israel has never had a better friend than President Trump. We are working closely to implement the historic Gaza peace agreement and strengthen regional security in the Middle East,” Kelly said.
Trump Warns Iran on Nuclear Negotiations
President Trump recently posted on Truth Social, warning that the U.S. would take action if Iran does not negotiate a fair nuclear deal. He emphasized that the agreement must prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and benefit all parties involved.
“Iran will quickly ‘come to the table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS – one that is good for everyone,” Trump wrote.
Trump also referenced prior U.S. actions against Iran, including “Operation Midnight Hammer,” and warned that any future attacks could be more severe if Iran fails to negotiate.
“As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was Operation Midnight Hammer. The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again,” he cautioned.
