Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues his diplomatic engagements with senior US officials in Washington, focusing on deepening bilateral cooperation and addressing regional security challenges.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing reports from Axios journalist Barak Ravid on the X social media platform, Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on July 29.
This marks the third consecutive day of high-level discussions for the Israeli leader in the US capital. Prior to this, Netanyahu held substantive talks with US Vice President J.D. Vance. The Prime Minister has characterized his recent meeting with US President Donald Trump as highly productive, emphasizing that the discussions were conducted in a spirit of full partnership.
A primary focus of these high-level consultations has been the prevention of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Netanyahu underscored that Israel and the United States maintain a unified position on this critical security issue, reflecting the long-standing strategic alliance between the two nations. These meetings come at a pivotal time for Middle Eastern diplomacy, as both nations seek to align their policies on regional stability and defense cooperation.
