U.S. President Donald Trump met for more than two hours behind closed doors with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday (February 11, 2026) and said he’d insisted that negotiations with Iran continue as the U.S. pushes for a nuclear deal with Tehran.
Mr. Netanyahu entered the White House out of the view of reporters and left without issuing a statement on what was said. But Mr. Trump, in a subsequent post on his social media site, called it “a very good meeting” but said “there was nothing definitive reached, other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated.”

“If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference,” Mr. Trump wrote. “If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be.”
He added, “Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal” and were hit by U.S. strikes. “Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible,” Mr. Trump wrote.
