Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that “the most important mission is to ensure life” and that he “is speaking with President Trump<\/a> about it,” during a Sunday meeting with Druze and Circassian local authorities heads at the Dead Sea.<\/p>\n

“I want to tell you what the most important mission is – to ensure life. I am committed to this, and by the way, I am also speaking with President Trump<\/a> about it,” he said during the meeting, adding that he is committed to using all the power of the State of Israel to complete this mission.<\/p>\n

“I see it in the heroic soldiers. I see it in the bereaved families that break my heart. I see it in the infinite display of valor of the Druze fighters and commanders. And I am committed to it from a very young age; these are not just words,” Netanyahu added.<\/p>\n

The meeting where Netanyahu spoke included the chairman of the Local Government Center, Haim Bibas; the spiritual leader of the Druze community, Sheik Mowafaq Tarif; and the chairman of the Forum of Druze and Circassian Local Authority Heads and head of the Kasra-Sme’a Council, Yasser Gdeban.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu held a talk with US President Donald Trump on Sunday night, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post.<\/p>\n

Hours later, Trump<\/a> said that the latest Iranian proposal<\/a> was unacceptable, with reports from Iranian media claiming that it was focused on ending the war permanently and lifting all sanctions against the Islamic regime.<\/p>\n

“I have just read the response from Iran\u2019s so-called \u201cRepresentatives.\u201d I don\u2019t like it – totally unacceptable!” Trump wrote on a Truth Social statement.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Netanyahu also talked about Iran, focusing on the enriched uranium still present in the country, during a Sunday night interview with CBS.<\/p>\n

“We’ve degraded a lot of it. But all that is still there, and there’s work to be done,” he told CBS News’ Major Garrett in an interview on 60 Minutes.<\/p>\n
