All eyes are on the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu today, but I find it hard to believe that the war decision hasn't already been made. Looking at the size of the military buildup, it's hard to assume otherwise, even if Trump can be unpredictable.

Netanyahu visita a Trump para imponer sus condiciones en la negociación con Irán

Benjamin Netanyahu ha adelantado su viaje a Washington, previsto para la reunión del día 19 del Consejo de Paz, para verse con Donald Trump y tratar de condicionar las negociaciones con Irán. El primer ministro israelí tenía previsto llegar a Washington este martes y celebrar un encuentro con el presidente de EE. UU. el miércoles. Netanyahu, que está a pocos meses de unas elecciones, presiona para que EE. UU. adopte una postura dura con el régimen islámico. Israel quiere que el diálogo vaya más allá de exigir el enriquecimiento cero de uranio e incluya «la limitación de los misiles balísticos y el fin del apoyo al eje iraní», adelantó la oficina del primer ministro, refiriéndose a grupos armados respaldados por Teherán en la región como Hamás en Gaza y Hizbolá en Líbano. Antes de subirse al avión, Netanyahu dijo que asuntos como la situación en Gaza también estarán encima de la mesa. Pero que «primero y sobre todo» hablarán de Irán «para presentar al presidente nuestra visión sobre principios esenciales».
