Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump. <br /> <br />In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over. <br /> <br />With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically. <br /> <br /> <br />#Netanyahu #OperationBlackFlag #IsraelUSAlliance #MiddleEastWar #Hamas #Iran #Hezbollah #RedSeaCrisis #IDF #BreakingNews #IsraelDefenseForces #USIsrael #HostageCrisis #GazaWar #TrumpNetanyahu #YemenStrikes
