US‑Israel coordination in Iran war

Entities: Benjamin Netanyahu · Volodymyr Zelensky · Donald Trump · Iran · Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Overview

In late July 2026, President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for back‑to‑back closed‑door sessions. The meetings, attended by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other senior officials, were described by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as “positive and productive.” The agenda focused on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and on a U.S. licence that would let Ukraine produce Patriot air‑defence interceptors domestically. Concurrent protests in Washington called for the International Criminal Court to enforce arrest warrants against Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged Gaza war crimes.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed that the U.S. aircraft that struck Iranian targets the previous week had taken off from Israeli air bases; the strikes were subsequently paused. President Trump said negotiations with Tehran have “good chances” of success, while Iran warned that any seizure of its assets could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Israel pledged a full response if it were targeted.

The visits occurred shortly before the leaders attended a memorial service for the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a noted supporter of both Israel and Ukraine, underscoring the tight U.S.–Israel coordination amid the ongoing Iran‑U.S. conflict.
