00:00US President Donald Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House for their first in-person meeting
00:07since the war with Iran began.
00:10The White House described the closed-door talks as positive and productive as the two leaders looked to bridge differences
00:18over the military campaign they started against Iran.

00:29weapons.
00:30But the two allies have been at odds in recent months.
00:33Netanyahu is pushing for continued strikes and pressure on Iran and Hezbollah to prevent them from rebuilding its capabilities.
00:40While Trump has signalled a preference for diplomacy with Tehran, both face pressure in their respective countries.
00:46For Trump, higher prices and questions about the US's involvement are concerns.
