Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. President Donald Trump separately to discuss their respective agendas amid ongoing global conflicts involving the Middle East and Ukraine. The meetings, described as positive and productive by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, occurred as U.S. policies on Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war remain uncertain. Both leaders were also expected to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a strong supporter of Israel and critic of Iran, who had recently met with Zelenskyy. Netanyahu’s visit comes at a time of rising tensions with Trump, who criticized Netanyahu’s approach to sharing Israeli intelligence on Iran. Despite past alignment, recent disagreements have emerged, particularly regarding a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. Netanyahu aims to discuss Israel’s security and pay respects to Graham, whom he called a “true friend.”
