Netanyahu-Trump meeting was ‘excellent,’ focused on Iran – Israeli official

Netanyahu’s White House meeting with Trump was “excellent,” according to a member of his official entourage to Washington.

“The leaders spoke about the peace deal that will be presented tomorrow, though most of the meeting centered on Iran,” the official says.

Trump and Netanyahu discussed the “need to stop Iranian aggression as well as about Iran’s efforts to go nuclear and about the need to continue the pressure on all fronts.”

They also talked about “regional opportunities” that arose in the aftermath of the US assassination of senior Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.

Furthermore, the prime minister spoke to the president about the “need to fight against the International Criminal Court’s attempt to prosecute Israel,” the official says.
