US not pressing Israel to withdraw; leaders say they are aligned on Iran

Tzipi Hotovely, Israel's head of National Public Diplomacy, said after the Netanyahu‑Trump meeting that Washington is not demanding Israeli withdrawals from Gaza or Lebanon and that there is a shared understanding of how Israel will operate in Gaza. She said Israel will remain on the Yellow Line and that reconstruction efforts will only begin after full demilitarization has been achieved.

Hotovely added that the United States and Israel are fully coordinated on preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and that the leaders concentrated on Iran and expanding the Abraham Accords during their meeting. She quoted President Trump asserting himself as Israel’s top friend, said several contentious topics (including the Temple Mount, F‑35 sales and recent assassination/drone episodes) were not discussed, and denied reports that Israel had provided intelligence on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain; Saudi Arabia was raised only in a broader regional context. as reported by Jerusalem Post
