Netanyahu wants to meet Trump at White House after Iran war success

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to meet with President Trump at the White House in the coming weeks to celebrate their joint operation against Iran's nuclear program. The two leaders are closer than ever and view the 12-day war as a monumental achievement for their countries and personal legacies. Initial discussions have taken place between Netanyahu's advisers and White House officials regarding a potential visit, but no date has been set. The meeting would provide an opportunity for both leaders to solidify their narrative on the success of the Iran operation and discuss joint next steps in the region. Netanyahu has expressed interest in coming to the White House, and Trump is open to the visit. Netanyahu's lawyers have requested a two-week postponement of his corruption trial hearings, citing the need for him to focus on foreign policy and national security issues. Trump recently intervened in Netanyahu's legal proceedings, calling for the cancellation of his trial or a pardon. Netanyahu and his allies have praised Trump's call, and Trump is now focused on ending Israel's war in Gaza and promoting peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The White House is working to expand the Abraham Accords, a key diplomatic achievement from Trump's first term, and is hoping for normalization across an array of countries.
