Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met President Trump at the White House for the first time since the US–Israel war with Iran began, as Washington kept a multi-day pause on strikes while threatening to resume if Hormuz diplomacy failed.

CBS reported the 28 July meeting amid US–Iran indirect diplomacy over Hormuz and continued US claims of control of the strait. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the same day that US aircraft had used Israeli bases for recent strikes on Iran while noting Israel had not joined the July strike wave. CBS had earlier reported the visit schedule (arrival Monday, White House Tuesday). This package is the bilateral political meeting and war-consultation frame, not a new Israeli kinetic action.
