US President Donald Trump says that while he just wrapped up a “very good” meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “nothing definitive was reached, other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can be consummated.
“If it can, I let the prime minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be,” Trump writes on Truth Social, without specifying whether Netanyahu agrees with that approach.
“Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a deal, they were hit with Midnight Hammer — that did not work well for them,” he says, referring to the June 2025 US strikes on Iran’s three main nuclear sites.
“Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible,” he says.
Trump says the pair also discussed “the tremendous progress being made in Gaza, and the region in general.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
