The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied a Washington Post report alleging he held "intensive talks" on Iran with Mike Waltz, the former US National Security Advisor who was fired by President Donald Trump.

"Contrary to the Washington Post report, Prime Minister Netanyahu did not hold extensive talks with Mike Waltz on the Iranian issue," Netanyahu's office said in a statement released Saturday.

The statement explained that Netanyahu's meeting with Waltz and Steve Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, took place at the guest house in February, prior to his upcoming meeting with President Trump at the White House.
