President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded a two-and-a-half hour meeting at the White House with no definitive agreement on how to proceed with Iran. Trump stated that negotiations with Iran would continue, but did not provide specifics on any potential deal.

Why it matters

The meeting between the two leaders was highly anticipated, as Israel views Iran's nuclear program and support for terrorist proxies as an existential threat. Reaching an agreement on a path forward with Iran is a key priority for both the U.S. and Israel.

The details

Trump and Netanyahu did not take questions from reporters or appear on camera together after the meeting, a departure from past visits where they held joint press conferences. Regime change and the elimination of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a key priority for Netanyahu and much of the Israeli political establishment, who allege that Tehran is working to build a nuclear weapon and view this, along with Iran's support for terrorist proxies in the region and ballistic missile program, as an existential threat.

What they’re saying

“There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference.”

The takeaway

The failure to reach an agreement on Iran highlights the ongoing tensions and differences between the U.S. and Israel on how to address the perceived threat posed by Iran's nuclear program and regional activities.
