Trump meets Netanyahu and Zelensky at White House as wars drag on

Donald Trump held separate White House meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky and Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, as Washington struggled to accomplish its goal of ending the major conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Ukrainian president and Israeli prime minister were both in Washington to attend the funeral of Republican senator Lindsey Graham, who died last month. The meeting came at a sensitive moment in US-Israel relations. Despite continued US military and diplomatic support for Israel, Trump has also publicly criticised continued Israeli aggression in Lebanon, and what he has described as failures to uphold ceasefire agreements. Netanyahu told Israeli media the two leaders shared "an understanding of a shared goal, to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, and other goals as well." Hours after Netanyahu's meeting with Trump, Iran targeted a US military base in Jordan, according to the US military. The events mark a re-eruption of the US-Iran conflict after Trump paused military operations against Iran in June.
