War Rhetoric and Realpolitik: The Netanyahu Trump Meeting in Context The meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday highlights the complex dynamics at play in the Middle East, where war rhetoric has been matched by realpolitik.
The Israeli Prime Minister's visit comes as he seeks to address public disagreements with the US President over hostilities in the region.
Netanyahu's arrival follows a series of high profile criticisms from Trump, who has labeled him "a difficult guy" in an interview earlier this month.
