Benjamin Netanyahu Set to Urge Donald Trump to Get Tough with Tehran in Washington Visit

[UANI Senior Advisor] Ray Takeyh, senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, said any pressure on Trump from Netanyahu could be significant because the Israelis are “not interested in an agreement” with Tehran and are alarmed by the talks in Oman.  Netanyahu’s government and the Trump administration also have fundamentally different understandings about what was accomplished in the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June. “The Israelis thought they mowed the lawn. The president thought he burned down the house. The Israelis want to mow the lawn again. And I don’t know if the Americans do at this point,” Takeyh said.
