Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in a Fox News interview that a date for an expected meeting with President Donald Trump has not yet been set, according to a report from Asaf Yechzekeli (N12) on Monday. The statement follows a series of diplomatic engagements and signals between Jerusalem and Washington as the U.S. pursues a nuclear deal with Iran. Netanyahu said Israel has 'weakened Iran' and expressed his desire to expand the Abraham Accords and advance additional normalization agreements. The meeting has been anticipated in Israeli media since reports emerged of Netanyahu seeking an urgent summit with Trump amid the accelerating Iran negotiation track. As The Zioneer reported, the U.S.-Iran deal framework has been a central point of tension between the two leaders, with Trump publicly stating Israel 'hasn't hit Iran hard enough yet' and later expressing belief that an agreement could be reached. No specific timeline for the meeting has been given. The interview provides Netanyahu's most direct confirmation of the planned summit to date.
