President Trump Meets With Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Discuss Middle East and Ukraine Conflicts
President Trump will host separate meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday to address the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. The administration announced that the meetings will focus on the war in Iran, progress on negotiations with Lebanon, and the expansion of the Abraham Accords for Netanyahu, while Zelenskyy will discuss the peace process between Russia and Ukraine. During the visit, Benjamin Netanyahu will also attend the funeral of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Meanwhile, global oil prices fell sharply on Monday following a pause in hostilities between the United States and Iran. President Trump stated that the U.S. halted strikes on Iran at the regime's request, warning that attacks would resume if a ceasefire deal is not reached. While the administration is seeking a diplomatic solution, Iran's Foreign Ministry reported no current direct negotiations with the U.S., though talks with Oman are progressing to manage maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his support for President Trump's pressure on Iran's nuclear program, despite growing domestic criticism in Israel and some friction regarding F-35 fighter jet sales to Turkiye.
