Israeli media outlet Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the White House has decided to hold a closed-door meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, differing from their previous interactions which were open to media coverage. This decision likely stems from concerns over differing opinions between the two leaders regarding a potential deal with Iran, which has become a significant point of contention.

According to the report, the meeting is scheduled to begin today and will include a relatively small delegation accompanying Netanyahu, including his military secretary Major General Roman Gofman and the acting head of the National Security Council, Gil Reich, without Netanyahu's wife, Sara. This more intimate setting suggests that sensitive discussions are expected, particularly surrounding pressures from Arab countries and strong interventions from U.S. envoys to avert conflict with Iran, creating anxiety for Netanyahu regarding the outcome of the talks.

Officials have expressed concerns that Trump may reach a fragile agreement with Iran, which could undermine Israeli security and interests in the region. Such strategic negotiations underline the delicate balance that Israel must maintain in its relationship with the U.S. while also navigating the complex dynamics of Middle Eastern geopolitics, particularly regarding Iran's influence in the area.
