President Trump said he had held “a very good meeting” with Prime Minister Netanyahu, adding: “There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be”. He further noted, with reference to the Iranians, that “hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible”. The Prime Minister’s office said Netanyahu had “emphasised the security needs of the State of Israel in the context of the negotiations, and the two leaders agreed on continued coordination and the close contact between them”. Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official contended that “Israel is trying to sabotage the negotiation process and is looking for excuses to fuel flame of war”.
