- Netanyahu says Iran could be pressured into a “good deal” after talks with Trump.
'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to reporters on Thursday before boarding his flight back to 'Israel', highlighting the outcome of his short visit to Washington and his discussions with President Donald Trump.
Netanyahu described the meeting as “short but important” and praised the relationship between the two leaders as genuine and open, signaling strong bilateral cooperation on security and regional issues.
“The president believes the Iranians already understand who they are dealing with,” Netanyahu said. “Combined with the lessons from their previous negotiations, these conditions could lead them to accept a deal that meets Israel’s and the international community’s key concerns.”
Focus on Iran, But Broader Security Talks Included
While the central topic was Iran, Netanyahu said the conversation also touched on other security challenges in the region, including developments in Gaza and 'Israel’s' broader strategic interests.
Netanyahu stressed that any potential deal with Tehran must address more than just nuclear capabilities. “Ballistic missiles and Iran’s support for regional proxies are just as critical,” he said, emphasizing that 'Israel’s' security priorities extend beyond the nuclear file.
Despite the optimism about potential leverage, Netanyahu also maintained a degree of caution:
“I do not hide my general skepticism about the possibility of reaching any agreement with Iran.”
Trump Meeting Characterized as “Excellent Conversation”
Netanyahu repeatedly praised his interaction with President Trump, describing it as an excellent conversation with a great friend of 'Israel'. He underscored the personal rapport they share, framing it as a relationship that strengthens 'Israeli'-U.S. cooperation.
