Where it stands

Trump and Netanyahu met at the White House on July 28, their first face-to-face meeting since the Iran conflict began, after Trump publicly criticized Netanyahu’s handling of the war. The report says the meeting exposed a growing rift and that their strategic divide deepened behind closed doors; it does not say they resolved or set aside their differences.
