US President Donald Trump told\u00a0Axios on Saturday that he has a good relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>, but that Netanyahu “knows who the boss is.”<\/p>\n

“We get along very good. [Netanyahu] knows who the boss is,” Trump said in a phone\u00a0interview with Axios.<\/p>\n

The report comes as Trump and Netanyahu hint at a possible meeting in the near future. The prime minister is reportedly aiming to visit the White House soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the report, an Israeli official said the meeting could take place as soon as a week after the next NATO meeting, scheduled for July 7 and 8 in Turkey.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Netanyahu called Trump to congratulate him on the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence, the Prime Minister’s Office said.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu<\/a> told Trump that the United States is \u201ca guarantor of global freedom\u201d and that Israel values the close relationship between the two countries, the Prime Minister\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the two leaders agreed to meet soon in the United States.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu<\/a> and Trump last met on February 11, 2026. Later that month, the United States and Israel jointly attacked Iran.
Their February meeting focused primarily on how the United States and Israel would respond if negotiations with Tehran failed to produce an agreement. Netanyahu requested that any attack also target Iran\u2019s ballistic missile stockpile.<\/p>\n
