After Trump reveals Iran talks, Netanyahu holds meetings with coalition heads, security chiefs

After US President Donald Trump’s bombshell announcement yesterday that he was in talks with Iran about ending the war, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a series of high-level meetings to discuss the next steps in the campaign.

The premier called the heads of the coalition parties to discuss the talks and the impact on the war last night, the office of one of the ministers tells The Times of Israel.

This morning, Netanyahu met with security chiefs on the same topic.

Unnamed senior Israeli officials tell Israeli media and Reuters that Trump seems determined to end the war with a negotiated deal, but that they see that outcome as unlikely at present, because Iran won’t agree to US demands.
