Trump, Netanyahu hold high-stakes talks at White House

President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday for their eighth face-to-face meeting since the US president returned to office.

Netanyahu arrived at the West Wing at 10.57 am (1457GMT), and the meeting, which was closed to the media, ended 90 minutes later.

“President Trump has concluded his meetings in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President (Volodymyr) Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Both meetings were positive and productive,” said White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.

Israel did not immediately release a readout.

The high-stakes meeting in the Oval Office included a senior American delegation. US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth participated in the discussions alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US envoy Steve Witkoff.

On the Israeli side, Ambassador Yechiel Leiter and other senior officials represented Tel Aviv.
