LONDON (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared resigned on Thursday to a possible meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, after voicing opposition to world powers opening a dialogue with Iran.

The Israeli leader, who earlier in the day asserted that this was not the time to hold talks with Iran, said he recognised the possibility of a Trump-Rouhani meeting, and that it was not up to him to tell Trump with whom he could meet.
