Donald Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White Home today for an 11:00 AM top extensively deemed a turning point for Middle East stability.
The high-stakes conference comes as the president weighs the implementation of a “2nd armada” to the Persian Gulf.
Netanyahu is apparently worried Trump might cut an offer with Israel that sidelines Israel’s core security needs.
Senior Likud minister Eli Cohen informed Israeli media Monday that Netanyahu’s primary message will be that settlements with Iran have no worth. “The main point is altering the fear program in Iran,” Cohen stated.
Netanyahu formerly convinced Trump to license strikes on Iran’s nuclear centers in 2015.
