Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking an urgent meeting with President Donald Trump in the United States amid rising tensions over the negotiations with Iran, an Israeli source told CNN. The source said Netanyahu is trying to arrange the meeting for after Trump returns from the G7 summit in Europe next weekend or shortly afterward, in order to present Israel's positions in the talks. According to the source, Israel is particularly concerned with preserving its freedom of action against Hezbollah in Lebanon, while Iran is pushing for an Israeli withdrawal.
