The ongoing meeting between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Oval Office is closed to reporters and an agenda has not been published, according to Al Jazeera.

However, Israel’s envoy to the UN, Danny Danon, has told reporters ahead of Netanyahu’s arrival at the White House that the Israel-US war on Iran will top the agenda.

“I’m sure that will be number one on the agenda in the meeting today,” Danon says, responding to questions on whether Israel expects the two leaders to focus on specifics of ending or scaling down the war on Iran.

Danon adds that Israel is ready for “different scenarios.”
