Israeli officials express doubt that the planned meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump will take place next week as originally expected, according to an Israeli source. No official cancellation has been announced.
Israeli officials cast doubt Saturday evening on the much-anticipated meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, saying it is uncertain whether it will take place next week. No official confirmation or cancellation has been issued from either side.
The report follows weeks of diplomatic tension between Jerusalem and Washington. US-Iran nuclear negotiations have advanced rapidly, and Trump has reportedly not extended an invitation to Netanyahu for the G7 summit sidelines—an unusual exclusion that strained ties. In recent days, Israeli media reported that Netanyahu was pressing for an urgent one-on-one meeting to influence the final terms of any emerging deal.
It remains unclear whether the reported doubts reflect a scheduling conflict, policy friction, or a deliberate diplomatic signal. The Zioneer previously reported that a Kan 11 source said Israel was weighing postponing military action due to Trump's opposition, but no direct link between these developments has been confirmed.
