Netanyahu in 90-min meeting with Trump

The offices of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reported that they discussed Israeli security and peace efforts, the Iranian nuclear deal, military assistance and regional security in their 90-minute conversation Sunday. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton later Sunday, 24 hours before the candidates hold their first face-to-face debate at Hofstra University, in Hempshire, N.Y. amid polls registering a dead heat between them.
“Mr. Trump recognized that Israel and its citizens have suffered far too long on the front lines of Islamic terrorism,” said a statement from Trump’s office. “He agreed with Prime Minister Netanyahu that the Israeli people want a just and lasting peace with their neighbors, but that peace will only come when the Palestinians renounce hatred and violence and accept Israel as a Jewish State,”

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
