An Israeli official stated after the meeting between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump that there is full coordination between the two countries on the Iranian issue, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
An Israeli official confirmed Tuesday evening full coordination with the United States on the Iran issue, following the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump. The source, quoted after the meeting, said there is "full coordination" between the two countries, signaling that the talks resolved any remaining differences.
The meeting, which took place earlier Tuesday at the White House, lasted approximately one hour and twenty minutes in an expanded format, without a customary one-on-one session. The White House described the talks as "positive and productive." Senior officials privy to the details told multiple Israeli news outlets that the leaders displayed "excellent chemistry" and reiterated that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons under any scenario, "with or without a deal." The discussions also covered the US-Israel partnership and regional opportunities.
The meeting came amid reports of a potential US-Iran nuclear deal that has been under intense diplomatic negotiation. As The Zioneer reported earlier this month, Netanyahu was reportedly surprised by the pace of American diplomatic moves, and Trump later stated that Netanyahu was "on board" with the emerging agreement. The latest statement from the Israeli source suggests that the face-to-face meeting has brought Jerusalem and Washington into alignment on the Iranian file.
The specific details of the coordination remain unclear, and the source did not elaborate on whether the deal itself has been finalized. The security cabinet was expected to discuss new details of the emerging US-Iran agreement earlier this month, but no further updates have been provided.
