President Donald Trump is meeting with leaders of Gulf Cooperation Council states and additional Arab nations at this hour, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The exact list of participants and the meeting's agenda have not yet been disclosed.
The meeting is the latest in a series of high-level diplomatic engagements Trump has held with Middle Eastern leaders in recent months. As The Zioneer has documented, Trump previously met with Arab leaders at the G7 summit in France in June, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was notably absent, and has held separate talks with Gulf representatives regarding regional security architecture and the emerging Iran framework.
The US administration has been moving rapidly toward a diplomatic settlement with Tehran, a process that has generated friction between Washington and Jerusalem. Trump has held several phone conversations with Netanyahu in recent weeks to coordinate on the issue, though the prime minister has not been included in the current round of in-person meetings with Gulf and Arab leaders.
The Zioneer will provide further details as they become available.
