President Trump took aim at Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in a scathing public rebuke before the pair met behind closed doors at the White House to discuss the next steps in their five-month-old conflict with Iran.

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met behind closed doors at the White House Tuesday to discuss the next steps in their five-month-old conflict with Iran.

Ahead of their sitdown, Trump publicly rebuked Netanyahu during a TV interview after The Post reported that the leader of the Jewish state was expected to present evidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear technology at its subterranean Pickaxe Mountain site.

But, despite the prickly statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the nearly 90-minute Oval Office sitdown was “positive and productive.”

Netanyahu arrived and departed via a side entrance to the West Wing, avoiding questions from the media. Also present on the US side were Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Trump reacted harshly Tuesday morning when asked about the Israeli leader’s visit and his plans to share information about Pickaxe Mountain.

“Well, I don’t need Bibi to tell me that. Bibi is telling me that because he wants me to stay involved,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” when asked about the expectation Netanyahu will bring up Pickaxe Mountain ahead of an Oval Office meeting.

“We know exactly what’s going on. But no, I heard Bibi announce that. I said, ‘Why don’t you just tell it to me? Why do you have to announce it to the world?’” the president went on.

“I know exactly what’s going on at Pickaxe. It’s not a big problem. We took out their nuclear site, and we’ll have to take out Pickaxe if we don’t make a deal.”

Trump cited satellite technology being used by the US to study the site, located about 120 miles south of Tehran.
