During the meeting Netanyahu’s team will hand over evidence of Iran’s latest nuclear activity, a source in Jerusalem told the New York Post.
On Monday Trump announced negotiations with Tehran were back on after days of strikes, but the bombshell revelation could reignite full-scale war.

Israel believes Iran has moved thousands of uranium-enrichment centrifuges into tunnels deep inside Pickaxe Mountain, officials told the Wall Street Journal.
The regime allegedly made the transfer after the 12-day war in June 2025, when US and Israeli strikes pummelled Iran’s three main nuclear sites.

Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were all blitzed by “massive ordnance penetrator” bombs in the operation called “Midnight Hammer”.
Pickaxe Mountain lair lies more than 300 feet beneath Kolang Mountain near the Natanz nuclear facility.
The site is heavily fortified, and it is believed to hosts two tunnel complexes.
The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog said last year: “It is obvious it is in a place where numerous and important activities related to the programme are taking place.”
When asked what was going on beneath Pickaxe, Iran responded: “It’s none of your business.”
Satellite images previously revealed tunnels feeding into the mountain and leading to a deep-buried operation.
Experts say it could be more secure than any of the facilities struck by the US and Israel.
Trump has previously left the site untouched while bombing Iran’s other major nuclear bunkers.

But last week he warned the US would strike the area “pretty soon” and “very heavily.”
Responding to claims by Israel that the Islamic Republic has concealed its stockpiles in the mountain, he said: “I think that they may have. We don’t have it on record.“
During today’s meeting Israel is also expected to expose evidence that Iran is rebuilding its missile and drone program.
It comes as Trump paused a nearly two-week-long bombing campaign on Iran over the weekend as fresh talks began to end Tehran’s attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
He seemed hopeful for an end to the war on Monday, telling reporters aboard Air Force One: “I think there’s a good chance that something could happen.”
But, he warned Washington would “go back to doing what we were doing” before the pause in fighting if the latest negotiations failed.
Tehran has denied that any direct negotiations are taking place.
