Netanyahu arrived at 10:57 a.m. ET and met Trump for a little over an hour, with Vance, Rubio and Hegseth present, right after Trump met Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy. An Israeli source called the talks 'extremely positive' and said both reaffirmed that Iran must never have nuclear weapons; beforehand Trump said of Iran's Pickaxe Mountain site, 'I don't need Bibi to tell me that.'

Why it matters

Israel had stayed out of the July fighting; its defense minister said the same day that Washington was not approving Israeli strikes on Iranian energy targets.
