Netanyahu: Talks with Trump Focused on Iran
(NPR) Daniel Estrin - After his Oval Office meeting with President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu answered questions from reporters on Monday. The central issue Netanyahu raised, he said, was: "Iran, Iran and Iran." "The president will decide [by May 12] whether to renew the [Iran nuclear] agreement," Netanyahu said. His advice: "Fully fix, or get rid of it, fully nix." Regarding the Palestinians, Netanyahu said Israel did not seek to govern the Palestinians but that Israel must retain overriding security control of the West Bank, arguing that the Palestinians are not capable of rooting out violence.
