President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu wrapped up a White House meeting that lasted close to three hours, with Iran and broader Middle East developments high on the agenda.

Following the talks, President Trump shared a statement on his Truth Social platform describing the meeting and the tone of discussions.

“I have just finished meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, of Israel, and various of his Representatives. It was a very good meeting, the tremendous relationship between our two Countries continues.”

Iran was a primary focus of the conversation, and the president addressed the subject directly in his post.

“There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be.”

Trump also referenced a previous confrontation with Tehran, warning of potential consequences if diplomacy fails.

“last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer – That did not work well for them. Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible. Additionally, we discussed the tremendous progress being made in Gaza, and the Region in general. There is truly PEACE in the Middle East. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Before entering his meeting with President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu formally joined the Board of Peace in a signing ceremony held at the White House in the presence of Secretary of State Rubio.
