Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President Trump in Washington next week about the U.S.

talks with Iran.

Netanyahu's office says the prime minister wants the talks to include limiting Iran's ballistic missiles and ending Iran's support for armed proxies.

The U.S.

and Iran held indirect talks yesterday in Oman over Tehran's nuclear program.

Trump says more talks are planned for early next week, but concerns remain high about possible regional conflict.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to use force to compel Tehran to reach a deal on the nuclear program.

Just days after The Washington Post announced it would lay off more than 300 journalists, that's around 30 percent of its staff, embattled publisher and CEO Will Lewis says he's leaving his job after two years.

It's a tenure marked by controversy and crisis.

Lewis, a Brit, came under withering criticism from his staff for a lack of transparency, and he played no visible role in announcing the layoffs, and he was then photographed the next evening in Northern California walking the red carpet at a pre-Super Bowl event.

That reduction in staff gutted the paper's sports, local news and international coverage.

Lewis has experimented with several ways to transform the paper, including using AI for comments, podcasts and news aggregation.
