White House Spokesperson on Netanyahu-Trump Meeting: “Private Dinner, Focus on Gaza and Hostages”

The White House Press Secretary, Levi, addressed the media regarding the private meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, explaining that the meeting was closed to the press because the two leaders were having a private dinner.

Levi emphasized that President Trump’s top priority in the Middle East is currently ending the war in Gaza and securing the release of hostages.

In a separate statement, Levi also confirmed that the Trump administration remains in direct and indirect contact with Iran regarding a potential agreement.

He reiterated that President Trump has always been committed to peace and diplomacy, and this remains true as the administration continues to engage with Iranian officials, both directly and indirectly, to reach a deal.

These developments come amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, with the U.S. playing a key role in mediating conflicts and negotiating agreements.

The private nature of the Netanyahu-Trump meeting underscores the sensitivity of the discussions, particularly concerning the Gaza crisis and the broader geopolitical landscape.
