President Donald Trump said Saturday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked to meet with him at the White House, with the visit potentially taking place as early as next week following Trump's return from the NATO summit.

"We get along very good. [Netanyahu] knows who the boss is," Trump told Axios in a brief phone interview, referring to himself.

The meeting would be the first between the two leaders since the Iran war began and comes after a Friday phone call in which Netanyahu congratulated Trump on America's 250th Independence Day.

According to Netanyahu's office, "During their conversation, the Prime Minister said that the United States is a guarantor of global freedom, and that Israel greatly values the close relationship between the two nations."

"Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump agreed to meet soon in the United States."

An Israeli official told Axios that a meeting next week may be difficult because of Trump's travel schedule, saying, "It might take place the week after."

Netanyahu's office also said the two leaders discussed negotiations with Iran, the war in Gaza, and broader regional developments.

The prime minister stressed Israel's security requirements as diplomatic talks with Tehran continue, and both leaders agreed to remain in close coordination.

The planned meeting comes amid reports of tensions between Trump and Netanyahu over U.S. policy toward Iran and Israel's military operations in Lebanon.

Reflecting growing frustration within President Donald Trump's inner circle over Netanyahu's approach to the conflict, Axios reported, citing a U.S. official, that "many of Trump's closest advisers think that Bibi was wrong about everything."

The friction became public after Trump revealed on the "Pod Force One" podcast that he angrily confronted Netanyahu during a June 1 phone call over Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Netanyahu has since characterized the disagreements as "tactical disagreements" between "great friends," while Trump has continued to describe the broader U.S.-Israel alliance as "tremendous."

According to Axios, Trump has pushed Netanyahu to restrain Israeli military operations in Lebanon while pursuing renewed nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Despite Netanyahu's reported reservations, Trump also signed a memorandum of understanding last month extending the ceasefire with Iran and launching another round of nuclear talks.

Trump and Netanyahu last met at the White House on Feb. 11 to discuss Iran and regional security.

Seventeen days later, the United States and Israel launched a joint military campaign targeting Iran's political leadership and military infrastructure.

Their upcoming meeting is expected to focus on Iran, Gaza, and the next phase of U.S.-Israeli coordination in the Middle East.
