“These (meetings) come in the wake of the great victory that we achieved in Operation Rising Lion,” Netanyahu said at the start of a government meeting.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to the United States next week to meet with President Donald Trump and key members of his Cabinet, his office announced Tuesday.
“These (meetings) come in the wake of the great victory that we achieved in Operation Rising Lion,” Netanyahu said at the start of a government meeting. Netanyahu said Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are also included in the talks.
The meetings come after Israel and U.S. strikes in Iran damaged three key nuclear sites, though it remains unclear whether they were completely “obliterated” as Trump originally claimed.
In an interview last week with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was unsure of the exact details of communication and coordination between Netanyahu and Trump in advance of the strikes, but that there was “a very close and intimate dialogue” between the two, POLITICO reported.
Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire last week at Trump’s behest to end what he has called the “12 day war.”
“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post announcing the deal.
