Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu engaged in a phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday evening, coinciding with Iran’s response to a recent U.S. ceasefire proposal. This discussion underscores ongoing efforts to mediate a resolution in the region.
According to a source familiar with the conversation, Netanyahu interrupted a meeting with community leaders to take the call from Trump. The two leaders maintain regular communication as part of the U.S. initiative to facilitate negotiations with Iran regarding a ceasefire.
In a recent interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Netanyahu indicated that there is significant work ahead concerning Iran. He also noted that Trump shares his concerns about the importance of addressing Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, a critical issue in the ongoing discussions.
Prior to this call, Trump expressed his discontent with Iran’s latest response to the peace proposal, labeling it as “unacceptable.” This situation follows a letter from the White House to Congress on May 1, stating that military operations against Iran had “concluded,” despite U.S. forces remaining in the region.
On April 30, Iran communicated updated proposals for a peace agreement to the United States through intermediaries from Pakistan. Trump has voiced dissatisfaction with these peace initiatives, while his representatives continue to negotiate via phone.
