U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he had a "very good" conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the Iranian threat. Trump's remarks followed a report by Israel's Channel 12, which claimed Netanyahu had informed Trump of his desire to renew hostilities against Iran immediately after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.
Jerusalem's primary concern is that ongoing negotiations with Iran will result in an agreement that significantly reduces American pressure on the Iranian regime. However, the White House reportedly prefers a different approach at this time, with Trump aiming to exhaust diplomatic avenues and not wanting Israel to take actions that could undermine these efforts. Trump still believes an agreement is possible.
While Trump and Netanyahu have previously disagreed on how to handle Iran, they eventually reached understandings and pursued joint military actions. Sources familiar with the matter suggest that if current negotiations fail soon, Trump's stance might shift closer to Netanyahu's position.
This is not the first time Israeli reports have suggested tension between Trump and Netanyahu, only for the U.S. President to publicly present a different picture shortly thereafter. As in the past, after reports of disagreements over Iran, Trump's tone appeared much more conciliatory this time, suggesting that headlines about crises in their relationship often precede any actual crisis.
