Netanyahu arrives at White House, begins meeting with Trump

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the White House for his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

He does not enter the West Wing entrance where reporters are waiting, but rather through the south entrance.

The talks are expected to focus mainly on the US negotiations on Iran, with Netanyahu having said he will present Israel’s “principles” on those talks. Israel is wary of a narrow deal on Iran’s nuclear program that does not put an end to the regime’s uranium enrichment, require the moving overseas of its existing near-weapons-grade uranium, halt its ballistic missile development and end its support for proxy terror groups.

Trump said yesterday that Iran “wants to make a deal very badly,” but that if it doesn’t do so, “we will have to do something very tough.”

Today’s meeting is also expected to deal with the situation in Gaza.
