His office confirmed he would highlight concerns over Iran\u2019s missile capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tensions between Israel and Iran escalated sharply last year during a 12-day conflict in which Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles and other projectiles at Israeli territory, striking military targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The White House meeting also comes amid international criticism over Israeli measures in the occupied West Bank, where Israel\u2019s security cabinet recently approved steps allowing settlers to purchase land directly from Palestinian owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A US official said Trump does not support annexation of the West Bank and favors regional stability but stopped short of directly criticizing Israel\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outcome of the meeting could shape the future direction of US-Iran nuclear negotiations and broader Middle East security dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (Monitoring Desk) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to press US President Donald Trump to adopt a tougher stance on Iran\u2019s missile programme during high-level talks at the&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1134,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[100,1043,1044],"class_list":["post-1133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-netanyahu","tag-us-israel-relations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
