Netanyahu-Trump Meeting: What the Senior Official Didn't Tell You

The senior political official attacked the media at a briefing in Washington, claimed the meeting was good, and ignored Trump's remark about Mount Kachush.

It was revealed that the PM's office tried to coordinate a meeting at the White House for weeks without success.

The senior political official arrived at the press briefing in Washington in a combative mood and attacked the media, claiming there is a tendency to be political propagandists. He said the meeting was good, with a great atmosphere, and that there were no preconditions. He ignored Trump's remark two hours before the meeting, according to which he does not need Israeli intelligence on Mount Kachush in Iran. Netanyahu presented two slides with maps of IDF presence in Lebanon and Syria during the meeting, to show Trump the picture: Turkey holds 5% of Syria, Israel one-thousandth. The official explained that it is necessary to show Trump facts visually to change his impressions. Additionally, it was revealed that the PM's office tried to coordinate a meeting at the White House for weeks without success, and that Netanyahu did not push Trump toward an intense war with Iran, but emphasized that the action should be derived from the outcome.
