Netanyahu Set to Meet Trump as White House Weighs US-Iran Proposal Ahead of High-Stakes Talks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Donald Trump today as the White House weighs whether to move forward with a proposal to revive the US-Iran memorandum of understanding.

Iran and Oman have reportedly approved the latest framework, but President Trump is expected to make a final decision only after hearing Netanyahu's position.

Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel still wants the option to strike Iran, although Washington is not approving such action at this time. Trump has also downplayed concerns over the Pickaxe Mountain site, calling it "no big deal."

Ahead of the White House meeting, Netanyahu attended a memorial dinner honoring the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime champion of Israel in the US Senate.
