Full Post: Netanyahu before leaving Washington: "I have just concluded a short but important visit to Washington, during which I spoke with our great friend, President Trump. We have a close, genuine, and open relationship. The discussions covered several issues, but focused primarily on the negotiations with Iran. The president believes that the Iranians now understand who they are dealing with. I think the conditions he is setting, combined with their understanding that they made a mistake last time by not reaching an agreement, could lead them to accept terms that would make it possible to achieve a good deal. I want to say clearly: I do not hide my general skepticism about the possibility of reaching any agreement with Iran. However, I made it clear that if an agreement is reached, it must include the components that are important to us, to the State of Israel, and in my view to the entire international community: not only the nuclear issue, but also ballistic missiles and Iran’s regional proxies. It was an excellent conversation. Of course, we also touched on Gaza, the broader region, and other general matters. In any case, this was another discussion with a great friend of the State of Israel — a president like no other"
