President Trump to speak with PM Netanyahu amid efforts to aid Gaza and negotiate with Iran on nuclear program.
U.S. President Donald Trump planned to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (June 9, 2025), two White House officials said.
The call comes as Mr. Trump has been trying to accelerate aid into Gaza and to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear program.
Mr. Trump has occasionally expressed frustration with Mr. Netanyahu. Last week, he said he had warned Mr. Netanyahu not to take actions that could disrupt nuclear talks with Iran.
"I told him this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution now," Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "That could change at any moment."
