Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the United States on Monday, where he announced plans to meet with US President Donald Trump for their first face-to-face talks since the escalation of their conflict with Iran. This marks Netanyahu's eighth meeting with Trump since the president returned to office, and their first since February, just before Israel and the United States initiated a joint aerial campaign against Iran.
"In these complex times, you need to act with both great determination and great wisdom. We will discuss all the issues on the agenda, primarily Iran. Of course, our goal is to protect our security and also to expand the circle of peace around us," Netanyahu stated in a video message upon his departure.
