U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today for an extensive three-hour meeting focused on Middle East security. A primary topic of discussion was the potential for renewed nuclear negotiations with Iran. Trump signaled that the U.S. is willing to continue talks to see if a viable deal can be reached.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed that Israel has officially joined Trump's "Board of Peace" initiative. This diplomatic body aims to foster regional stability and economic cooperation between Israel and its neighbors. Netanyahu emphasized that while Israel seeks peace, its security requirements regarding Iran’s missile programs remain a top priority.

The meeting comes amid shifting dynamics in the region, with the U.S. attempting to balance renewed diplomacy with Iran while maintaining a firm alliance with Israel. The outcomes of these discussions are expected to shape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East for the remainder of the 2026 term.
