Reports of the meeting come amid discussions between Israel and the United States about possibly resuming large-scale attacks on Iran, the site reports. Just the other day, President Donald Trump also gave Netanyahu his full political support ahead of Israel's parliamentary elections next week.

The two countries jointly launched the war against Iran on February 28 this year.

Neither the Pentagon nor the Israeli Embassy in the United States has commented on the reports.
