Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump at the White House yesterday - in an effort to push the American leader to expand negotiations with Iran to include Israeli security priorities, according to ABC News.
Prime Minister Netanyahu announced yesterday evening that he had signed Israel's membership in the Blair House Peace Board, news he announced via social media.
"Ahead of my meeting at the White House with President Trump, I signed Israel's admission as a member of the 'Peace Board.' We will continue to strengthen the unbreakable alliance between Israel and the US," Netanyahu said on Twitter, posting a photo with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the document in hand.
The first meeting of the Board is scheduled to be held in Washington on February 19 at the leadership level. The main topic is expected to be raising funds for the reconstruction of Gaza.
Trump said the meeting with Netanyahu was very good and that relations between the two countries continued to be excellent, but no final decision had been reached.
He insisted that negotiations with Iran continue, in the hope of a new agreement.
"Nothing conclusive was achieved except that I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue - to see if a deal can be made or not. If he can, I will let the Prime Minister know that this will be a preference. If he can't, we will have to see what the outcome is," Trump wrote.
Before traveling to Washington DC on Tuesday, Netanyahu told reporters that his meeting with Trump would focus "first and foremost" on negotiations with Iran.
"I will present to the president our views on the principles in the negotiations, the important principles, and in my opinion they are important not only for Israel - but for everyone in the world who wants peace and security in the Middle East," Netanyahu told reporters.
During yesterday's meeting, which took place behind closed doors, Netanyahu was expected to urge Trump to expand negotiations with Iran beyond its nuclear program, including placing restrictions on Iran's ballistic missile program and cutting off Iranian support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
This was Netanyahu's sixth visit to the United States since the beginning of Trump's term.
Trump surprised him at an earlier meeting by announcing that he was planning to begin direct talks with Iran, which has vowed to destroy Israel.
The visit immediately followed talks in Oman on Friday between Iran's foreign minister and Trump administration officials on reaching a possible nuclear deal.
These talks came a month after Iranian leaders ordered a crackdown on civilian protesters in which an estimated 30,000 Iranians or more were killed.
Iran has said it will retaliate if the US attacks to curb its nuclear program, raising concerns of war.
Last June, the United States struck three nuclear sites in Iran amid the country's 12-day war with Israel, damaging but not destroying them.
