President Donald Trump shared photos from his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said the meeting was 'excellent' and covered many topics, according to Israeli media reports. The statement follows an earlier Channel 12 report in which Trump described the meeting as 'very good.'
President Donald Trump posted photos from his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu early Wednesday morning, calling the meeting "excellent" and saying they discussed many topics, according to ynet. The post came minutes after a Channel 12 report at 04:02 Jerusalem in which Trump described the meeting as "very good."
The developments follow a series of reports from Tuesday evening. At 21:03 Jerusalem, Netanyahu released a video summarizing the White House meeting as "one of the best conversations" he has had with a US president. Shortly before that, at 20:16, Israeli sources reported that two objectives were achieved in the meeting, though no details were provided. The Channel 12 report at 04:02 and the subsequent photo post represent the first direct comments from Trump since the meeting.
The meeting took place as the US advances toward a potential nuclear settlement with Iran. As The Zioneer reported, Trump has characterized his relationship with Netanyahu as "excellent" in recent weeks, while also making pointed remarks about the dynamics of their engagement. The two leaders have held several high-level interactions in recent months amid the evolving Iran deal framework.
What remains unclear is the nature of the two objectives reportedly achieved in the meeting, as well as the specific topics discussed during the White House conversation.
