U.S. sources revealed that Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed with U.S. President Donald Trump the possibility of launching a second round of military strikes against Iran in 2026.

According to the sources, the talks focused on the occupation’s concerns over Iran’s efforts to rebuild its nuclear and missile capabilities.

The discussions also addressed Gaza, where Netanyahu agreed to move to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, amid U.S. efforts to establish a “Peace Council” and form a technocratic Palestinian government.

The Israeli occupation reportedly asked the Trump administration to exclude Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from the proposed council, seeking to limit Turkey’s role in Gaza.
