Axios: Netanyahu intends to ask Trump for weapons capable of destroying Iranian nuclear facilities
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to convince US President Donald Trump to provide the Israeli army with weapons capable of destroying Iranian nuclear facilities, according Axios.
Axios’ sources confirmed the possibility of launching a military strike against Iran in the event of the collapse of diplomatic negotiations on settling the Iranian nuclear program.
According to some speculations, Trump might allow Israel to attack Iran.
At the same time, Axios indicated that Trump expressed his desire to reach an agreement with Iran to avoid any military action against it.
According to the Axios, the US President and the Israeli Prime Minister will discuss the possibility of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Trump is known for his close relationship with Netanyahu, though he has been critical of him at times.
The early visit is seen as a strong signal of support for the right-wing prime minister, who has faced intense criticism for his handling of the war in Gaza.
Earlier, Axios reported, citing Israeli sources, that Netanyahu will try to convince Trump to agree to plans not to implement the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and to continue military operations against Hamas.
