Netanyahu joins Trump for high-stakes meeting at the White House
President Donald Trump met with Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday in a high-stakes sit-down that comes at a politically fraught moment for the Israeli prime minister. The Israeli prime minister has seen backing for the Iran war he'd long championed and launched along with the United States fall at home, and support for his government's military campaign in the Gaza Strip plummet in the United States. The sit-down will be their first face-to-face meeting since Axios reported last month that Trump had called Netanyahu "f---ing crazy" during a heated phone call. Trump confirmed the report was accurate in an interview with the New York Post. "I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon," Trump said. NBC News has also reported that U.S. weapons stockpiles are diminishing and that U.S. military commanders are allowing some Iranian missiles and drones to pass U.S. defenses to preserve the weapons supply.
