Netanyahu meets US’s Rubio

The Israeli prime minister has held talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, DC, before his meeting with Trump.

Netanyahu’s office shared photos and a short video from the discussions on social media.

The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, could be seen sitting alongside Rubio.


Loud protests outside White House as Netanyahu meets Trump

The Israeli prime minister entered the White House from a side entrance, away from television cameras and the very loud protests that have been going on outside the White House perimetre for the duration of this meeting thus far.

The US president has been very clear that he has a red line when it comes to any sort of [Israeli] annexation of the West Bank. Recent actions in Israel really are a de facto effort to do just that.

But Trump is on record – as far back as October 2025 – and has recently given an interview where he once again reiterated that this is not something that the United States would support.


Canada must close airspace to Netanyahu: Rights group

A Canadian human rights group is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to close the country’s airspace to the Israeli prime minister, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes committed in Gaza.

CBC News reported that Netanyahu’s plane flew “hundreds of kilometres through Canadian airspace” as the Israeli leader made his way to Washington, DC, for talks with Trump and other senior US officials.

“Carney has promised to arrest Netanyahu if he lands in Canada, but apparently his principles don’t apply above ground level,” Yara Shoufani, president of Canadian for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, said in a statement.

“Canada is abandoning its legal obligations as a member of the ICC by giving safe passage to this war criminal and fugitive,” Shoufani said.

CBC said that, according to Canadian protocol, foreign government flights must seek permission “well before” they enter the country’s airspace.


Israel ‘banking on total impunity, openly defying int’l law’: Amnesty

After Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu at the White House, Amnesty International’s Erika Guevara Rosas says that, instead of welcoming Israeli leaders “with open arms”, countries should be pressuring Israel to end its rights abuses.

“States should be ramping up global pressure on Israel to halt its ongoing genocide, its unlawful occupation, and its cruel system of apartheid against all Palestinians whose rights it controls,” Guevara Rosas wrote on X.

“Impunity for genocide and for the crime against humanity of apartheid must end now,” she said.
