President Trump is meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Trump immediately after the Zelensky meeting, according to reports.
President Trump is currently meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scheduled to meet with Trump immediately after at 18:00 Jerusalem, according to reports from N12's Asaf Rozentzweig. The back-to-back meetings cap a day of high-stakes diplomacy in Washington, as the Trump administration seeks to simultaneously address the war in Ukraine and regional security challenges involving Israel.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today (Tue 08:41 Jerusalem), the story unfolded rapidly: first, Zelensky landed in the United States ahead of his meeting; by 08:41, the Ukrainian president had arrived at the White House and the meeting was confirmed underway. Shortly after, reports emerged that Netanyahu would meet with Trump immediately following the Zelensky meeting. The schedule was further detailed by N12 (Tue 09:58 Jerusalem), which set the Zelensky meeting at 16:30 and the Netanyahu meeting at 18:00 Jerusalem. The White House had confirmed the Zelensky meeting last week, as The Zioneer reported.
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday (Tue 09:58 Jerusalem), the Wall Street Journal reported overnight that Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine in a recent phone call, reflecting a shift in the president's stance toward Kyiv. The meeting with Netanyahu is expected to address regional security, including the Iranian nuclear threat, which has been a key priority for both leaders, as The Zioneer has previously reported.
No official agenda has been released for either meeting. The outcome of the Zelensky talks and the specific topics of the Netanyahu meeting have not yet been disclosed.
