In an interview with Axios, Trump said, "We get along very well. Netanyahu knows who the boss is." He added that the Israeli prime minister had personally requested a meeting at the White House, which could take place soon after the NATO summit.

The meeting would mark the first face-to-face talks between the two leaders since their February meeting, during which Netanyahu reportedly presented a proposal for joint military action against Iran.

The Israeli Prime Minister s Office has also confirmed that Trump and Netanyahu spoke by phone on Friday and agreed to hold a meeting in Washington in the near future.

According to an Israeli official, a meeting next week is unlikely because Trump is scheduled to attend the NATO Summit in Turkey on July 7–8. Instead, the visit is expected to take place the following week.

Reports suggest that differences have emerged between Trump and Netanyahu in recent months over Iran, Lebanon, and broader regional developments.

Sources say Trump criticized Netanyahu last month over Israeli military operations in Lebanon, believing the strikes were complicating ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Trump also claimed that Iran is eager to reach an agreement. However, he said both sides had agreed to pause negotiations for one week due to the funeral ceremonies of Iran s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to Trump, neither side would carry out military operations during this period.

The proposed White House meeting comes at a politically significant time, with Israel expected to head toward October elections, as Netanyahu prepares to launch his election campaign.
