Prime Minister Netanyahu meets President Trump at the White House for their seventh meeting, with Iran and Gaza as key discussion topics. Trump expresses his preference for making deals while Iranian officials warn that confrontation with the United States is inevitable, raising questions about whether the U.S. is moving toward military action or pursuing diplomacy.

Hours before the White House meeting, Netanyahu met with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to receive updates on diplomatic talks with Iran. Netanyahu refuses to comment on whether he supports any potential agreement between Trump and Iran, leaving Israel's position uncertain as negotiations continue.

The U.S. is deploying additional forces to the region with American military action against Iran being discussed in regional discourse. Iranian officials warn that any military attack, even if limited, would be considered the start of a broader war that extends beyond geographical boundaries, a perspective shared by some Israeli officials who acknowledge that Trump alone holds the final decision.
