Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. This marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since the initiation of joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran in late February, an event that triggered a broader regional conflict.
The meeting serves as an opportunity for the two leaders to address and potentially smooth over strains in their bilateral relationship that have emerged since the start of the war. While the leaders are expected to publicly downplay these tensions, the discussions occur amid reports from mediators suggesting a potential breakthrough in diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran. Sources indicate that President Trump is awaiting the outcome of his talks with the Prime Minister before finalizing decisions regarding a proposed memorandum of understanding to clarify disagreements in the Strait of Hormuz.
