JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran would be the main issue on the agenda of his talks with US President Donald Trump as he boarded a plane to Washington, DC.
Speaking from the Nevatim air base in southern Israel's Be'er Sheva, Netanyahu called the discussions that will take place tomorrow a "great honor" as well as a great responsibility.
"I know that in these troubled times, one must act with strong determination and great wisdom," Netanyahu said, quoted by CNN, Monday, July 27.
"We will discuss all issues on the agenda, especially regarding Iran. Of course, our goal is to maintain our security while expanding the scope of peace around us," he continued.
Netanyahu's seventh meeting with Trump in Washington since the beginning of the two US presidents' terms took place shortly after the US' deadly attack on Iran and Iran's retaliatory attacks on Arab and Gulf countries that are allies.
Netanyahu is a strong supporter of a return to tough action against Tehran, and has often expressed doubts about the intentions of Iranian officials behind nuclear negotiations.
During his visit to the US, Netanyahu will also attend the funeral of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a figure whom Netanyahu called one of his best friends (Israel).
