Netanyahu Visits White House for High-Stakes Meeting with Trump

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Washington, D.C., to hold talks with former President Donald Trump about the future of the conflict with Iran.

The meeting comes amid signs of growing friction between the two leaders. Trump has publicly criticised Israel for continuing strikes in Lebanon and ignoring a ceasefire.

Recent polling suggests public backing for Israel is decreasing in the U.S., with support for Netanyahu becoming a significant issue as voters prepare for this year’s midterm elections.

BBC’s Gary O’Donoghue provides context for the high-stakes nature of the meeting.
