At the White House today a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump.
Last night Mr. Netanyahu meeting top US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
The conflict in Gaza continuing at a low level amid what is supposed to be a ceasefire with Mr. Netanyahu wanting a future situation where Hamas is disarmed.
Meanwhile media reports in Israel leaking out saying a major Israeli military operation is in the cards.
But the main issue on the table is Iran where US President Donald Trump has made steep demands in line with those of Mr. Netanyahu.
They include Iran ceasing uranium enrichment, stopping support of militant groups in the Middle East and getting rid of any missiles with a range of more than 300 miles.
Today's "Trumpanyahu" talks are billed as a prelude to more talks with Iran with Iran not planning to agree to the demands on the table.
Steps of all-out war or increasing pressure on Iran through seizure of oil ships on the high seas are possibilities.

This week France's government with another move against social media raiding the offices of the "X" social media platform in Paris.
It isn't the first time social media has been targeted by the centrist Macron government in France.
In August of 2024 Telegram founder Pavel Durov lured to France by Mr. Macron and then detained by French authorities demanding cooperation with their probe of alleged criminal activity on his platform.
He was later released and allowed to return to his home in the United Arab Emirates.
Now Elon Musk has been summoned to Paris on April 20th along with "X" CEO Linda Yaccarino to answer questions.
The Paris prosecutor citing deepfake porn and Holocaust denial on the "X" platform but the fact that French voters go to the polls next year to elect a new President looms large.
Controlling information on social media in the upcoming election campaign is a high priority for the "moderate centrist" authorities amid the surge of "far-right-wing nationalism".
Also, in the background the efforts of US President Donald Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to twist France and allied nations to follow their lead.
Mr. Musk aligned with both leaders to a great extent.
He described the raid on "X" in France as 'a political attack'.
