PARIS — Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived on Thursday evening at the Elysée Palace in Paris for a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron where Iran was expected to top the agenda.

Before boarding his flight the Israeli Prime Minister said that his meeting with Macron would focus on the joint efforts to counter "Iran’s aggression and its drive toward a nuclear weapon.” Iran had threatened revenge against Israel, blaming it for the drone attack against the nuclear facility in Isfahan earlier this week.
