Will Trump meet with Netanyahu by 2026?

Platform comparison

Market context

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu last met in person on 11 February 2026, when the Israeli prime minister visited the White House to discuss Iran’s nuclear programme and Gaza hostages, making a further encounter before July 2026 the only way this market resolves to “Yes” [2][7]. With the settlement window closing in 18 months and the crowd pricing a 1% chance of a meeting, the implied view is that no new visit is scheduled despite Netanyahu’s record of six US trips since Trump resumed office in January 2025 [1].

Historically, Trump and Netanyahu have met frequently when Iran or Gaza dominate the agenda: their first post-2025 meeting occurred within weeks of Trump’s second term, and subsequent encounters in July 2025 and February 2026 were both triggered by urgent Middle East developments [1][2][9]. Yet those meetings clustered around crises; in the absence of a fresh escalation or a high-stakes diplomatic push, the pair have not held routine summits, which helps explain why the market assigns such a low probability to an unplanned encounter.

Traders should watch for any announcement of Netanyahu’s next US visit, particularly if tied to renewed US–Iran nuclear talks or a Gaza ceasefire breakthrough, as these have been the consistent catalysts for past meetings [2][9]. A key dependency is whether Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, or Secretary Rubio schedules a joint briefing ahead of a White House or Mar-a-Lago meeting; such groundwork usually appears in beat reporting days before a public announcement [9].
