Netanyahu urges Trump daily to resume strikes on Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly calls US President Donald Trump daily, urging a resumption of conflict with Iran, according to the Financial Times. The move faces opposition from White House officials and regional leaders. Netanyahu's appeals are resisted by those inside and outside the White House who favor diplomacy over escalation. Gulf leaders have advised Trump to prioritize negotiations, expressing growing concern over the Israeli premier's efforts to push for renewed military action. Israeli sources claim Netanyahu is not actively trying to persuade Trump on this matter. Following talks with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Trump indicated a new attack on Iran is unlikely, as efforts for a temporary US-Iran understanding continue.
