Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Thursday that President Donald Trump believes Iran may be pushed into accepting what he called “a good deal,” following the two leaders’ latest White House meeting.
“I have just concluded a short but important visit to Washington, during which I spoke with our great friend, President Trump,” Netanyahu said. “We have a close, genuine, and open relationship.”
According to the prime minister, the talks focused mainly on Iran and the future of nuclear diplomacy.
“The president believes the Iranians already understand who they are dealing with,” Netanyahu said. “He thinks the conditions he is setting, combined with their understanding that they made a mistake last time, could lead them to accept terms that would make it possible to achieve a good deal.”
Still, Netanyahu signaled caution about the
prospects for diplomacy.
“I do not hide my general skepticism about the possibility of reaching any agreement with Iran,” he said.
He added that he told the White House any deal must go beyond nuclear limits. “It must include the components that are important to us — not only the nuclear issue, but also ballistic missiles and Iran’s regional proxies,” Netanyahu said.
The “excellent conversation” also addressed the war in the Gaza Strip, he said.
“This was another conversation with a great friend of Israel — a president like no other,” Netanyahu added.

Bush felt that and was laughed at.
Clinton felt that and was laughed at.
Obama felt that and was laughed at.
Biden felt that and was laughed at.
Soon we’ll add that Trump felt that and was laughed at.
Yup, never mind the tens of thousands dead that Bibi and Trump encouraged to take to the street with promises of support. Never mind all the boisterous talk of being locked and loaded and promises of being ready to come to the aid of the protesters. JD now says that is none of America’s business. He should have said that earlier before tens of thousands bravely took to the streets with the clear encouragement and promises from his boss. I never want to hear FRUMAGA whining about Obama’s response to protests in Syria and Iran again.
All the sanctions of the globe and their currency down to 0 hasn’t pressured them even 1%. Time to stop being stupid and naive
Locked and loaded…. to sit and make a ‘deal’ with Islamic regime
Help is on the way…. to keep the regime in power
Wow this is WAY worse than Obama – he at least never promised the Iranian people anything before signing a deal with their oppressors
But it’s okay I’m sure the Ayatollahs won’t want to upset him in any way by doing anything naughty like still wanting to destroy Israel after signing with him
which part of all those “death to america” chants do they not understand? the mullahcracy is not rational, and will promise anything, especially to the infidels. the only real solution is regime change.
