In a brief phone interview, Trump indicated the visit could take place as early as next week, though he noted his schedule is currently dominated by an upcoming trip to <strong>Turkey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed meeting carries significant weight as it would be their first sit-down since a pivotal <strong>February 11<\/strong> session in the <strong>Situation Room<\/strong>. During that encounter, Netanyahu reportedly presented a comprehensive proposal for a joint war against <strong>Iran<\/strong>, which included strikes on ballistic missile facilities and scenarios for regime change.<\/p>\n<p>A senior <strong>Israeli official<\/strong> cautioned that a final date has not yet been set, noting that next week might be &quot;too early&quot; due to the <strong>NATO summit<\/strong> in <strong>Ankara<\/strong>. The official suggested the visit is more likely to take place the following week to allow for the President&#39;s return from international travel.<\/p>\n<p>The diplomatic outreach comes amid a complex regional backdrop following the assassination of <strong>Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei<\/strong> in February. Trump claimed that <strong>Iran<\/strong> is currently &quot;begging to make a deal,&quot; though he noted that both sides have agreed to a temporary pause in hostilities during the ongoing funeral ceremonies in <strong>Tehran<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the public show of cooperation, underlying friction remains regarding <strong>Israel&#39;s<\/strong> military operations in <strong>Lebanon<\/strong> and the <strong>Trump administration&#39;s<\/strong> pursuit of a ceasefire. Netanyahu\u2019s office confirmed the two leaders spoke on Friday to mark the <strong>250th U.S. Independence Day<\/strong>, during which they agreed to meet soon to discuss the &quot;close bond&quot; and shared security interests of both nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways President Donald Trump confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested a high-stakes meeting at the White [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"rank_math_schema_Article":[],"rank_math_focus_keyword":[],"rank_math_description":[],"financial_data_references":[],"stock_symbols_mentioned":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5012],"tags":[4335,4664,4824,5016,5041,8201],"class_list":["post-64227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-geopolitics","tag-israel","tag-nato","tag-benjamin-netanyahu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
