President Donald Trump acknowledged Monday evening that there are "some disagreements" between him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but stressed that the two leaders maintain good relations and that Washington and Jerusalem remain closely aligned on Iran, according to reports.
The remarks come amid a period of visible friction between the two leaders, as the United States advances a diplomatic framework with Iran that has generated strategic tension with Israel. Trump has publicly expressed frustration with Netanyahu's stance on the emerging deal, and has at times oscillated between praise and criticism of the Israeli premier.
Earlier Monday evening, Trump also said the Iran talks are "good" and that there is a "good chance something will happen," while warning that military action remains possible if negotiations stall, as The Zioneer reported.
Trump's latest comments appear aimed at balancing the public narrative: acknowledging differences while downplaying any rift. The specific nature of the "disagreements" was not elaborated upon.
