Netanyahu meets Trump in Washington; Iran agenda and Graham funeral FAST-MOVING

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington to meet U.S. President Donald Trump. The leaders are set to hold their first face‑to‑face discussion since the February launch of the joint U.S.–Israel aerial campaign against Iran, and it will be Netanyahu’s eighth meeting with Trump since the president returned to office. Netanyahu said Iran will be the top item on the agenda and emphasized the goal of protecting Israel’s security while expanding a “circle of peace.” He also attended memorial services for the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of both leaders. The meeting comes as the United States has paused a two‑week bombing campaign against Iran, and analysts note that a successful outcome could help Netanyahu secure support for his re‑election campaign ahead of Israel’s October 27 election.
