Netanyahu frantically tried to get President Trump on the phone — who was in back-to-back meetings and couldn’t take the call — while his office contacted multiple senior Trump administration officials, trying to connect the two leaders.
Sogar die größte Gefahr für das Gelingen dieses Gipfels – US-Präsident Donald Trump und seine ständig scharf geladene Twitter-Kanone – hatte Macron in einem ausgedehnten gemeinsamen Mittagessen nahezu entschärft. Den Handelskrieg mit China will Trump zwar beinhart weiterführen. Aber wer vor dem Gipfel behauptet hätte, dass es in Biarritz große Fortschritte im Atomstreit mit dem Iran geben würde, wie es die Kanzlerin nun am Ende des Gipfels feststellte, der wäre vermutlich für unzurechnungsfähig erklärt worden.
Shortly before Zarif‘s arrival Trump denied he‘d backed Macron to negotiate with Iran on behalf of the G7, with Trump‘s aides saying Zarif‘s visit was a „curveball.“
By early Monday, Trump was reversing course and playing along with Macron‘s secretive diplomacy. He said he not only knew Zarif was coming, he authorized Macron to invite him.

Key background: The meeting will be Boris Johnson’s first major appearance on the international stage since he became prime minister in July. It will be a chance for him to discuss the U.K.’s exit from the European Union. He is also expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss trade between their two countries.
Former Tory former cabinet ministers Iain Duncan Smith and Owen Paterson claimed the leak of documents on ‚Operation Yellowhammer‘ was an example of the ‚establishment‘ plot to ‚sow fear in people‘s minds‘.
In a joint statement, they said: ‚This Operation Yellowhammer leak is the version of what the contingency executive put together. We remember attending a briefing on privy council terms which they said was not worst case but reasonable worst case. Theresa May had asked for this to be done.
