Trump Meets Netanyahu and Zelenskyy After Graham Memorial

President Donald Trump held a meeting in the Oval Office with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after a memorial service for the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump praised both leaders, saying Netanyahu was a close partner and Zelenskyy had "done an amazing job" with U.S. equipment.

Netanyahu, speaking through an interpreter, described the talks as a "conversation of full partnership" focused on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and other shared objectives. Ukrainian officials described the meeting as "very practical" and said it centered on restarting diplomacy, including a possible visit by senior envoys to Ukraine.

The gathering came amid ongoing debates in the United States over the Gaza war and the conflict in Ukraine, with some U.S. officials expressing concerns about the direction of Israel's policies toward Lebanon and Iran, and others urging an end to hostilities in Ukraine.

Trump acknowledged differences with Israel over Lebanon and Iran, noting the need for the United States to stay involved while urging restraint. He also urged an end to fighting in Ukraine, saying the parties should "stop killing people and be done."
