U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today at the White House for a critical discussion that could change the balance in the Middle East. Netanyahu, whose agenda includes the ongoing talks between the U.S. and Iran, signed on behalf of his country for membership in the Gaza Peace Council, while opponents of Israel greeted the visiting leader with harsh slogans.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's eagerly awaited visit to the United States continues with high-level contacts at the White House. Spending the night at Blair House, Netanyahu met with U.S. President Donald Trump amid intense security measures and protests.

AVOIDED THE CAMERAS, ENTERED THROUGH THE SOUTH GATE

After leaving Blair House in the morning, Netanyahu made a notable security move. Instead of using the main entrance where press members were waiting, he entered through the south gate of the White House, where there were no cameras. Following the entrance, the White House announced that the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu had officially begun behind closed doors.

NETANYAHU'S SECRET AGENDA IS IRAN

Since Trump's return to office, Netanyahu has been among those who visit the White House very frequently. This meeting was recorded as the seventh contact between the two in the last 13 months.

By advancing his visit expected to take place next week, Netanyahu aims to ensure that discussions with Iran are not limited to the nuclear file during his trip to the U.S. The Israeli administration wants to include Iran's ballistic missile program and its military influence in the region within the agreement.

FORMAL SIGNATURES FOR GAZA PEACE COUNCIL

Before his meeting with Trump, Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss regional issues and bilateral relations. The most significant outcome of this critical meeting was the signatures that were signed. The Israeli Prime Minister officially signed on behalf of Israel for membership in the Gaza Peace Council, facilitating the process to move to a new stage.

ANGER IN THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON

While diplomatic contacts continued inside the White House, the atmosphere outside was quite tense. With Netanyahu's arrival, protesters greeted the Israeli Prime Minister with harsh slogans. The demonstrators directly targeted Netanyahu in their chants. During the passage of Netanyahu's convoy, the expressions "Get lost, Bibi" were clearly heard from the protesters.
