Netanyahu’s low-key White House visit speaks volumes about souring US ties

LONDON - “I just finished an excellent meeting with President Trump. When I say excellent, I don’t mean it superficially,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after leaving the White House in Washington on July 28.

Yet the most revealing thing about Netanyahu’s eighth audience since Donald Trump was re-elected and the first face-to-face meeting since the US and Israeli leaders launched the war against Iran in February this year was not what was said inside the Oval Office.
