3 articles · Updated · The Jerusalem Post · Jun 13

Summary

  • A senior US official said Benjamin Netanyahu will not join Donald Trump’s G7 bilateral meeting next week with leaders from Egypt, the UAE, Qatar and other regional countries in France.
  • US officials said Washington believes it has reached a “strong deal” with Iran and plans to take part in de-mining the Strait of Hormuz once the waterway reopens, with possible G7 participation.
  • Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, said Tehran has no plans to send a negotiating team to Geneva or anywhere else in the next few days, clouding the diplomatic picture.
  • At the summit, Trump is also expected to meet France and India’s leaders and join a working session with Volodymyr Zelensky while pressing issues including growth, supply chains, migration, AI and critical minerals.
