Hegseth meets Netanyahu ahead of elections, possible Iran war restart

Washington — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth quietly visited Israel on Monday and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a senior U.S. military official who spoke to CBS News under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. A second source involved in the matter in Israel confirmed Tuesday morning that Netanyahu met Hegseth. The unannounced visit came just over a week before Netanyahu's party faces elections. It also comes after President Trump floated resuming military operations against Iran following next month's U.S. midterm elections.

Zelenskyy says it's Putin who wants an endless war, not him

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said Monday that his country had been subjected to another night of Russian missile and drone strikes, "and again there was no warning from partners." Zelenskyy has accused the U.S. of limiting intelligence, and possibly other assistance to Ukraine amid renewed tension with President Trump, who accused the Ukrainian leader over the weekend of not wanting to end the war. Mr. Trump has significantly softened the U.S. government's policy toward Russia, easing sanctions to allow Russian energy sales in a bid to ease U.S. gas prices.
