A diminished Bibi arrives for his moment with Trump
Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Donald Trump for the eighth time, but arrives with diminished influence as their interests on Iran have diverged. Trump paused U.S. strikes in Iran and is pursuing negotiations, leaving Netanyahu largely uninformed and preparing for potential conflict. Netanyahu has struggled to coordinate with Trump, relying instead on Secretary of State Marco Rubio for updates.
