President Donald Trump, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday, expressed frustration over reports that Netanyahu planned to discuss intelligence about Iranian activities at a contested nuclear site Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb. Trump complained that his ally was publicizing information about the location, saying a public announcement was unnecessary. The meeting, their first since launching a joint military campaign against Iran, comes as both leaders face domestic pressures—Netanyahu ahead of elections and Trump amid an unpopular war. Their once-united front has frayed, with Trump reportedly sidelining Netanyahu in favor of negotiating with Tehran. The discussion also covered a U.S.-Israel-Lebanon framework agreement and expanding the Abraham Accords, according to an anonymous White House official.
