President-elect Donald Trump met with Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday to discuss Middle East issues, including the Gaza and Lebanon wars and Iran, before heading to Washington for talks with President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to a person familiar with the meeting.
The meeting was intended in part to gauge Trump’s initial views of the various regional issues as he prepares to take office, the source told CNN.
Axios first reported Dermer’s meeting with Trump.
