以色列总理内塔尼亚胡将于7月28日在白宫与美国总统特朗普举行会晤[3][5]。这是两人在美以联合对伊朗宣战以来的首次会面[1][5]，双方计划讨论以色列-真主党战争框架协议、亚伯拉罕协议扩展以及伊朗冲突等议题[1][3][5]。特朗普表示两国"有一点分歧"，但在伊朗问题上"非常接近"[3][5]，而内塔尼亚胡承认他和特朗普有时会有"策略上的分歧"[3]。
会晤面临多重挑战。特朗普公开批评以色列继续对黎巴嫩进行空袭并忽视停火协议[4]。同时，美国民众对以色列的支持度正在下降，美国对以色列的两党支持已大幅下降，特别是因为以色列在加沙的行为[5]。此外，特朗普在F-35战机销售等问题上与内塔尼亚胡存在分歧，特朗普表示"没人有权告诉我应该卖什么，或不应该卖什么"[3]。以色列反对派领导人拉皮德也在华盛顿活动，敦促特朗普轰炸伊朗电力和石油基础设施[2]。
尽管存在分歧，本次会晤对双方都至关重要。内塔尼亚胡计划分享以色列对伊朗核计划的情报，并争取说服特朗普在加沙和黎巴嫩的外交和重建努力上支持以色列[1]。两位领导人均面临国内政治压力，会晤将成为一次重要的沟通机会。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on July 28 for his first meeting with President Donald Trump since the two countries jointly declared war on Iran in February.[3][5] The high-stakes summit aims to address growing strains in the bilateral relationship while discussing critical regional security matters and diplomatic initiatives.
The two leaders plan to focus on the framework agreement between the United States, Israel, and Lebanon regarding the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, as well as the expansion of the Abraham Accords.[5] Netanyahu intends to share Israeli intelligence assessments of Iran's nuclear program and seek Trump's backing for diplomatic and reconstruction efforts in Gaza and Lebanon.[1] However, the meeting takes place against a backdrop of visible friction between the allies. Trump has publicly criticized Israel's continued airstrikes on Lebanon and disregard for ceasefire agreements.[4] When asked about potential disagreements with Netanyahu, Trump stated "We have a little difference, but pretty crowded" regarding their stance on Iran.[1][3]
Public support for the war effort has declined significantly on both sides of the Atlantic. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, only one-third of American voters support the military campaign, marking a historic low.[2] American public backing for Israel has also dropped substantially, particularly due to Israeli actions in Gaza.[5] Netanyahu faces similar domestic political pressures, while Trump must balance continued support for Israel against declining American enthusiasm for further military escalation. The military operations have now extended for five months, despite Trump's initial expectation that the conflict would resolve within four to six weeks.[2] Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, also in Washington, has urged Trump to expand military action by bombing Iranian power and oil infrastructure, asserting "It's going to be painful in the short term; it's the right thing to do in the long term."[2]
