Barak Ravid (N12) reported on Tuesday that the White House meeting scheduled for tonight between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was described as 'very tense' by two administration sources. The report adds to a series of public signals of friction between the two leaders. As The Zioneer previously reported, Trump in June warned Netanyahu that Israel could be 'left alone' against Iran if the war escalates, and later characterized the prime minister as knowing 'who the boss is.' The White House has previously denied that a meeting was scheduled, but discussions between the two sides continued. The meeting is seen as a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination amid the ongoing Iran nuclear negotiations.
