Amid ongoing debate within the United States over how to confront Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has voiced concern about President Donald Trump’s position following their most recent White House meeting.
According to a report Sunday evening by Barak Ravid on Channel 12 News, an American official who met with Netanyahu last week said the prime minister left his meeting with Trump without a clear understanding of what the president intends to do regarding Iran. Netanyahu reportedly told the official: “Is he (Trump) still with us? I’m worried.”
The remarks come against the backdrop of internal disagreements within Trump’s circle over how to respond to Iran’s continued defiance. Two opposing approaches are said to be pulling the president in different directions.
Trump’s envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, believe more time should be given to diplomacy. Although Trump has reportedly leaned toward ordering a military strike, he has so far agreed to their request to exhaust diplomatic talks first.
On the other side, Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham and other officials in the administration are urging the president not to delay and to move forward with a strike against Iran. Netanyahu is said to be particularly troubled by what he sees as indecision in Washington.
Meanwhile, Thursday’s summit in Geneva between the United States and Iran may represent the final opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in negotiations over a nuclear agreement. Officials in Jerusalem are expected to closely monitor the talks in Switzerland.
Just two days after the Geneva meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to arrive in Israel for talks with Netanyahu.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also addressed the upcoming round of negotiations in Geneva, writing on X: “Iran is committed to peace and stability in the region. The recent negotiations included the exchange of practical proposals and yielded encouraging signals. However, we continue to closely monitor U.S. actions and have made all necessary preparations for any possible scenario.”
