Ahead of his meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump said the United States and Israel are "pretty close" on Iran, signaling broad alignment before the talks. The comments put Iran at the center of the upcoming discussion between the two leaders.
According to the reported agenda, the meeting is also expected to cover Lebanon and the Abraham Accords. That suggests the conversation will extend beyond Iran to wider regional diplomacy and security issues involving Israel and its neighbors.
Trump also weighed in on Turkey, calling it a good ally after saying he would consider F-35 sales to Ankara. He added that no one would tell the United States what it can or cannot sell, linking the issue to Washington's control over its own defense decisions.
Taken together, the remarks point to a meeting focused on several major Middle East files at once: Iran, regional normalization efforts, Lebanon and U.S. defense ties with Turkey. Trump's comments indicated that Iran remains the clearest point of U.S.-Israel coordination going into the talks.
