International media reports said the call came as Washington and Tel Aviv continue close consultations on Iran, the war in Gaza and broader regional security issues.
Diplomatic sources said the planned meeting is expected to cover Iran’s nuclear programme, the conflict in Gaza, efforts to secure the release of hostages, ceasefire negotiations and defence cooperation between the United States and Israel.
The conversation follows reports in recent weeks suggesting tensions between Trump and Netanyahu. However, both leaders have rejected those claims and insisted that communication and strategic cooperation between their governments remain intact.
