'We'll knock them down': Trump backs attack on Iran if weapons development continues
Trump was meeting with Netanyahu for talks on breaking a deadlock over the Gaza ceasefire and addressing Israeli concerns about Iran and Hezbollah.

Netanyahu denied he directed media coverage of his wife in Case 4000, rejecting prosecution claims and calling state witness accounts exaggerated during renewed cross-examination.
Netanyahu argued that while he focused on creating a more “diverse” media environment, he never refrained from routine conversations with journalists about coverage.
When two men with such long shadows allow personal animus to spill into national policy and public diplomacy, the consequences extend beyond any domestic score-settling.
The latest change follows several recent adjustments to the trial schedule.
Case 4000 explores the Netanyahu's seeking favorable coverage in Israeli media, particularly their relationship with Bezeq owner Shaul Elovitch, who owned the Walla news site.
PM Netanyahu confirmed in court that he was aware of and approved gifts from Arnon Milchan, as testimony continues in Case 1000.
'You are trying to present this as if I received a truckload of cigars,' Netanyahu said in response to the prosecution’s questions. 'I received a trickle - it’s nothing.'
Prosecution cross-examined Netanyahu on prior statements he had made about documentation he claimed to have regarding the money he spent to purchase expensive cigars.
Trump and his deputies have since then expressed their frustrations with Israel in language far more blunt and excoriating than Biden ever deployed.
The attorneys argued that the expanded schedule would hinder their ability to provide effective representation.
