Trump arrives in search of ‘the ultimate deal’

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump flew in to Israel yesterday as strikes and clashes continued across the occupied territories.

Following a meeting with his Israeli counterpart Reuven Rivlin, he said Arab nations shared “common cause” with Israel against “the threat posed by Iran.”

At a Middle East summit in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh on Sunday Mr Trump had accused Tehran of backing terrorists “from Lebanon to Iraq and Yemen.”
