Netanyahu arrives in Washington for a meeting with Trump

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, arrived in Washington for a meeting with Donald Trump. The news was published in the early hours of Tuesday 28 July 2026 (6 Mordad 1405).

The visit comes during the pause in fighting between the United States and Iran and amid ongoing regional diplomatic contacts over the Strait of Hormuz. For markets, the course of these talks is one of the determinants of the geopolitical risk premium in global oil and gold prices, as well as of the exchange rate in Iran's domestic market, a variable that on the same day coincided with declines in both oil and gold.
