Netanyahu Hails White House Meeting With Trump

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that his meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House was "one of the best I've ever had" as the leaders reportedly discussed Iran and other Middle East issues. "It was a meeting with full cooperation, with mutual support, with understanding on the joint goal that Iran won't have nuclear weapons, and also other goals," Netanyahu said. Tzipi Hotovely, head of Netanyahu's National Public Diplomacy Directorate, told Israeli media in a briefing later Tuesday that the issue of Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site was not raised. Hotovely said that Netanyahu's "goal was to deepen coordination, but not to push the president to take one action or another." "We do not tell the president of the United States what to do. There was a deep understanding in the meeting that we are striving for the same goal," she said.
