NETANYAHU REPORTEDLY URGES TRUMP TO RESUME STRIKES AGAINST IRAN AFTER US MIDTERM ELECTIONS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly urged US President Donald Trump during a phone conversation on Saturday to resume military strikes against Iran immediately after the November 3 US midterm elections.
According to reports citing US and Israeli sources, Netanyahu is concerned that ongoing diplomatic negotiations with Tehran could ease international pressure on Iran and delay further military action.
However, Trump reportedly wants to give diplomatic efforts mediated by Qatar more time before deciding whether to launch renewed military operations.
The White House has not confirmed the reported details of the conversation, and Trump has yet to announce a final decision on resuming strikes.
The reported disagreement highlights growing differences between Washington and Tel Aviv over the timing of potential military action against Iran.
