U.S. President Donald Trump points his finger towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as they shake hands during a press conference after meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida,

CNN Political and Global Affairs Analyst Barak Ravid and Brianna Keilar on the latest discussions between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A climbdown in a phone call with the Israeli leader shows the president’s diminishing control over fighting that threatens his effort to reach a peace deal with Tehran.

Caitriona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Bernd Debusmann unpack the extraordinary falling-out between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - a reportedly "blazing row" that both men have since confirmed.

President Donald Trump told The Financial Times that Israel will have to get on board with any U.S.-Iran deal. “[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] won’t have any choice,” Trump told the FT in a telephone interview.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on ⁠Sunday ⁠that new strikes by Israel and Iran would not affect his ⁠administration's peace talks with Tehran, saying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “doesn’t call the shots.

The Israeli military said it had carried out strikes on Iran after the Islamic Republic launched ballistic missiles into northern Israel, reigniting hostilities for the first time since an April ceasefire and raising fresh doubts over already fragile U.

The temporary resumption of hostilities highlighted Mr Trump’s twin failures in controlling his Israeli ally and cajoling Iran to accept a lasting truce. Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, has now defied the president twice in rapid succession.
