Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu entered the White House at 18:26 Jerusalem time on Tuesday, with his meeting with President Donald Trump beginning immediately, according to Israeli media reports. The development marks the culmination of a carefully sequenced diplomatic day at the White House, following Trump's earlier session with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which concluded this afternoon.
As The Zioneer reported at 17:27 Jerusalem, Trump met with Zelensky in the Oval Office, with Netanyahu's visit scheduled to follow directly. At 18:10 Jerusalem, the Prime Minister's Office released a photo of Netanyahu and his senior security team conducting a preparatory session inside the White House, confirming the Israeli delegation's readiness. The sequence of reports — from an initial arrival confirmation by journalist Amit Segal (N12) at 18:26, to a photo published shortly after showing the two leaders seated together — has been corroborated by multiple Israeli news outlets, including N12 and Channel 12.
The meeting, Netanyahu's eighth with Trump since the latter's election to a second term, is the centerpiece of the Prime Minister's Washington visit. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, Netanyahu departed for Washington with the Iranian nuclear threat at the top of the agenda, stating before takeoff: "I will discuss all issues on the agenda with President Trump, first and foremost Iran." The White House has not yet released an official readout of the discussions.
