The Day Trump Told Netanyahu Who the Boss Is

The day's dominant story was Donald Trump's remark that Netanyahu 'knows who the boss is,' ahead of a potential White House meeting. The quote, carried by nearly all outlets in the evening, followed earlier reports of a planned summit and framed the relationship in terms of hierarchy. Earlier, coverage centered on the massive Tehran funeral for Khamenei, with crowds chanting 'Death to Israel' and the notable absence of his son Mojtaba, reportedly due to fears of Israeli assassination. This narrative of Iranian succession anxiety persisted throughout the day. By afternoon, reports emerged that US-Iran nuclear talks would resume in Pakistan, while Israeli media highlighted internal Iranian power struggles and a West Bank settler attack. The Trump-Netanyahu dynamic, however, dominated the evening news cycle, overshadowing other developments.
