Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House as tensions rise in the Middle East and negotiations over Iran's nuclear program intensify. Netanyahu is expected to press Trump for a deal that halts Iran's uranium enrichment and curbs its support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran has conditioned its willingness to limit uranium enrichment on the US scaling back sanctions that have severely strained its economy. The visit comes as the US increases its military presence in the region, with Trump warning Tehran of action if it fails to strike a nuclear deal. Israeli officials have reserved the right to take military action against Iran if a nuclear agreement is not reached.
