Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump met at the White House yesterday, which was described by both sides as being positive and productive. In a video released shortly after the meeting, Netanyahu said: “I have just finished an excellent meeting with President Trump, and when I say excellent, I do not mean that as an empty phrase. It was a conversation marked by complete partnership, mutual support and an understanding of the common objective: ensuring that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons, as well as other goals. This was one of the best conversations I have had with U.S. President Trump. His entire senior team was there, as was our senior team, and it was an opportunity to exchange ideas and coordinate steps that are important for the security and future of the State of Israel.” Tzipi Hotovely, head of Israel’s National Public Diplomacy Directorate, added, “There was no American demand for a withdrawal, not from Lebanon, not from Syria and not from Gaza. The military achievements are being preserved.”

Last night, a Hezbollah drone struck an IDF bulldozer at the edge of the Israeli security zone in southern Lebanon.

An Israeli citizen who served in both his mandatory and reserve military service in a classified IDF unit has been charged with contact with a foreign agent, who identified himself as an Iranian intelligence operative, and attempting to provide information for the benefit of the enemy. According to a joint statement by the police, Defense Ministry and Shin Bet, the indictment was filed by the State Attorney’s Office Cyber Department.
