Event Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, their first meeting since launching a joint war against Iran in February. The meeting aimed to smooth strains in their relationship, as Trump faces domestic pressure to end the costly war ahead of midterm elections, while Netanyahu seeks reelection amid a deteriorating relationship with Trump. Trump expressed frustration over Netanyahu's plans to discuss intelligence on Iranian activities at Pickaxe Mountain, a potential nuclear site. The leaders also discussed a framework agreement with Lebanon regarding the Israel-Hezbollah conflict and expansion of the Abraham Accords. Netanyahu has been sidelined as Trump seeks a deal with Tehran, with Israeli analyst Amit Segal noting that the US is running the war. Netanyahu warned Iran against attacking Israel, saying the response would be 'very forceful.' Israel took steps to allow the Lebanese army to deploy in southern Lebanon and green-lit entry of an international stabilization force in Gaza, though few countries have pledged troops. An AP-NORC poll showed erosion of US support for Israel.
