Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington for a quick White House meeting with President Donald Trump, aiming to tackle serious geopolitical issues like Iran's nuclear program, U.S. tariffs, and Turkey's influence in Syria. The outcome, however, left Netanyahu with few assurances.

While publicly declaring the meeting a 'very good visit,' the Israeli delegation privately admitted the encounter was tough. Trump displayed unpredictability, dismissing several of Netanyahu's objectives, a stark contrast to Netanyahu's triumphant visit two months prior.

Despite Netanyahu's expectations of Trump's unwavering support, the complexities of the meeting highlighted the nuanced dynamics between the two leaders, especially concerning their strategies toward Iran and regional politics in the Middle East.
