Mr. Netanyahu is up for re-election and is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular war that has wreaked economic havoc and driven prices higher ahead of midterm elections this November. “I know exactly what's going on at Pickaxe,” Mr. Trump told “Fox & Friends.” Since then, Mr. Netanyahu, who wanted to continue the fighting in Iran and against its ally, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, has been sidelined as Mr. Trump sought a deal with Tehran. Mr. Netanyahu said Sunday (July 26, 2026) that he hoped to sit down with Mr. Trump “to hear what he has in mind” for Iran.
