President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Gulf state leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly next week to discuss the next steps in the war against Iran, according to The Zioneer's morning news roundup. A separate report earlier today by Barak Ravid (N12) indicated the meeting would focus on post-conflict arrangements in Iran.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Gulf state leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next week to discuss next steps in the war against Iran, The Zioneer reported in its morning news roundup Thursday. The planned gathering was first disclosed at 03:08 Jerusalem time by Barak Ravid (N12/ynet), citing three sources. Minutes later, a follow-up report by the same journalist indicated the agenda had shifted to focus on the "day after" in Iran, emphasizing post-conflict arrangements.
The Zioneer's thread of reporting on the meeting began overnight between Wednesday and Thursday. At 03:08 Jerusalem, an initial entry cited three sources confirming Trump would discuss the war during the Gulf meeting. A simultaneous update noted that the conversation would center on the "day after" — the period following the current military campaign. Both reports attributed the details to Ravid's N12/ynet reporting.
This diplomatic development unfolds against months of escalating U.S.-Iran confrontation. As The Zioneer reported on July 6, Trump warned he could "wipe out all their power plants by the afternoon" while preferring a negotiated deal. In June, Trump met with Middle Eastern leaders at the G7 summit in France, but did not include Prime Minister Netanyahu. In mid-June, Iranian state media signaled a high likelihood of a deal and Israeli sources assessed the next phase of the conflict, as The Zioneer covered at the time.
It remains unclear whether the meeting's agenda has been finalized between the two reported focuses — immediate military strategy and post-conflict arrangements. The extent of Israeli coordination with Washington before the event has also not been detailed.
