Netanyahu seeks urgent meeting with Trump after G7, 'Israeli' source told CNN

• Netanyahu seeks urgent Trump meeting amid tensions over Iran talks and Lebanon, CNN reports.

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking an urgent meeting with US President Donald Trump following the conclusion of the G7 summit, amid growing disagreements between Washington and Tel Aviv over negotiations with Iran and the ceasefire in Lebanon, according to CNN.

Citing an 'Israeli' source, CNN reported that Netanyahu is attempting to arrange a meeting with Trump shortly after the US president returns from Europe in order to discuss and clarify 'Israel’s' positions on ongoing regional diplomacy.

Tensions intensified 

The effort comes as tensions between the two leaders appear to have intensified following 'Israel’s' strike on Beirut on Sunday. Trump publicly criticized the attack, saying it “should not have happened” and describing the Hezbollah attack that preceded it as “very small and meaningless.”

The exchange marked a notable departure from the united front Trump and Netanyahu had displayed at the start of the conflict involving Iran. According to CNN, the disagreement is the latest in a series of visible differences as the Trump administration pushes to end hostilities in the region.

According to the 'Israeli' source cited by CNN, Netanyahu wants the meeting to ensure 'Israel’s' concerns are reflected in ongoing negotiations.
