Trump expresses frustrations with Netanyahu before their first meeting since launching the Iran war - AP News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described his White House meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday as "excellent," marking their first sit-down since the two nations launched a joint war against Iran.
The closed-door talks lasted nearly 90 minutes and were called "positive and productive" by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, while Trump later described it on social media as a "very good meeting" covering "many important subjects" without elaborating.
The meeting offered Netanyahu an opportunity to ease strains in his relationship with Trump, tensions that have contributed to his political troubles as he faces reelection.
Trump is under domestic pressure to conclude an unpopular war that has caused economic disruption and pushed prices higher, with US midterm elections approaching in November.
Hours after the meeting, Iran ended a short lull in the conflict by firing multiple ballistic missiles at US forces in the Middle East, though the American military reported that all were successfully intercepted.
The talks unfolded against a backdrop of regional fallout, including damage in southern Lebanese villages and heightened activity around the Strait of Hormuz near Bandar Abbas, Iran.
