Netanyahu's trip to Washington took a surprising turn when Trump announced negotiations with Iran on a nuclear agreement without Israel. This comes after Netanyahu had supported Trump's tariff deal and hoped for an Oval Office strategy session on destroying Iran's nuclear facilities. Netanyahu's previous opposition to Obama's Iranian deal damaged Israel's support among Democrats and American Jews, making it unlikely they will help him block a Trump-Iran agreement. Additionally, Trump is preparing to sign a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, which will not be tied to diplomatic relations with Israel, a top priority for Netanyahu.
