Trump admitted using strong language in expressing his concerns about Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hezbollah. The Trump administration has excluded Israel from talks to end the conflict, urging Israel to cease hostilities with Hezbollah.
In an interview with CNBC, Netanyahu referred to “tactical disagreements” with Trump but remained optimistic about resolving issues.
Trump expressed interest in meeting Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, in the future. The Iranian government has not commented, and Khamenei’s health and willingness to meet remain uncertain.
