Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the United States at the end of the month to discuss the Iran issue and the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire with President Trump. Netanyahu may raise the possibility of launching an attack on Iran and seek U.S. involvement or assistance in military actions. It remains unclear whether Trump supports Israel's military actions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on the 22nd local time that he would discuss the Iran issue and the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire with U.S. President Trump during his visit to the U.S. at the end of the month. Reuters reported on the 23rd that Netanyahu made this statement at a joint press conference held in Jerusalem after meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Cypriot President Christodoulides.

In his speech, Netanyahu mentioned that Israel has noticed Iran conducting exercises recently. Reuters reported that earlier on the 22nd, Iran held missile exercises in several cities, marking the second such exercise reported in the country within a month.

According to reports, Netanyahu is preparing for his meeting with Trump, which will be their sixth meeting since Trump returned to the White House. This meeting is scheduled to take place on the 29th at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, but Trump stated on the 18th that the meeting has not yet been officially confirmed.

The newspaper "Haaretz" stated that Netanyahu may again raise the possibility of launching an attack on Iran at Mar-a-Lago. Analysts in Israel have been warning for months that Iran is rapidly producing a large number of missiles, suggesting that Israel may need to launch a new round of military strikes. Israel had previously focused on destroying Iran's nuclear program, but is now turning its attention to Iran's missile capabilities.

NBC News previously revealed that Netanyahu may indicate during his visit to the U.S. that the expansion of Iran's ballistic missile program poses a threat not only to Israel but also to regional security and U.S. interests, necessitating swift military action. Reports indicate that Netanyahu is also expected to present options for U.S. involvement or assistance in this military action to Trump.

"Haaretz" reported that there are currently almost no signs that Trump would support Israel in resuming military actions against Iran. With the U.S. midterm election cycle beginning, if the U.S. supports Israel in launching another attack on Iran at this time, it would undoubtedly be a political disaster for the Republican Party, and this move could also provoke resistance from the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) camp.

Regarding the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire arrangements, there are also differences between the U.S. and Israel. The New York Times reported that Trump now faces a tough choice: either constrain Israel or watch this fragile strategic framework collapse under Netanyahu's incremental escalation, as the window to avoid a new outbreak of hostilities continues to shrink.
