Trump says Netanyahu ‘knows who the boss is’, says sources

Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu could visit the White House as early as next week, U.S. President Donald Trump told Axios on Saturday (July 5, 2026), adding that the Prime Minister "knows who the boss is" in their relationship.

The possible meeting comes amid reports of tensions between the two leaders over efforts to end the war against Iran that the U.S. and Israel started in late February.

"We get along very well. [Mr. Netanyahu] knows who the boss is," Mr. Trump said in a brief phone interview with Axios, referring to himself.
