US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a secret meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an unannounced visit to Israel. The meeting followed US President Donald Trump's endorsement of Netanyahu ahead of Israel's parliamentary elections, the first since the October 7 Hamas attack. The conflict has escalated tensions in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. Analysts say Trump's support strengthens Netanyahu's claim of being vital to US-Israel relations.
