Event Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed to Washington on July 27, 2026, to meet US President Donald Trump for their first face-to-face talks since the start of the conflict with Iran. The meeting, their eighth since Trump returned to office, focuses primarily on Iran amid diverging US and Israeli interests. Netanyahu seeks to showcase the relationship ahead of Israel's October 27 election, where he trails in polls. Tensions were highlighted by a June phone call where Trump called Netanyahu 'fucking crazy'. In a gesture to Trump, Israel agreed to allow a multinational security force into Gaza under Trump's peace plan. Israel also redeployed forces in southern Lebanon as part of US-backed agreements. The US had halted a two-week bombing campaign against Iran, which Iran responded to by suspending its attacks as long as the pause continues. Israel has warned of a forceful response to any Iranian attack.
