WASHINGTON, July ‌28 (Reuters) - President ​Donald Trump ​said late on Tuesday his meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were ‌positive.

Here are details and quotes:

• Netanyahu and Zelenskiy were ⁠in Washington to attend a memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican ‌who died earlier this month ‌and was an influential advocate for Israel and Ukraine.

• In separate short posts on Truth Social, Trump said he discussed various ​topics with them, without giving specifics.

• "Had a very good meeting! Obviously, many important subjects were discussed," Trump wrote on meeting ⁠Netanyahu.

• Trump voiced irritation with Netanyahu ahead of the meeting, complaining that details of Netanyahu's ​planned talking points on Iran had surfaced publicly.

• The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. ​Tehran responded with its own strikes on ‌Israel and Gulf states that host U.S. bases.

• U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks on Lebanon ⁠have since killed thousands and displaced millions.

• The meeting also came as the Gaza ceasefire has been repeatedly violated since it began in October.

• ⁠Nearly 1,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Israeli attacks since then, ​according to Gaza health officials. Israel says four of its soldiers have been killed by militants during that period.

• Netanyahu described the meeting as "excellent."

• Zelenskiy ‌also met Trump and they discussed plans for Ukraine to produce Patriot missile interceptors and reviving peace ‌talks with Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in ⁠February 2022.

• "Many things were discussed. ‌The meeting went ​very well," Trump wrote. Zelenskiy also cast it as a "good meeting."
