Mr Trump's executive orders and comments come as he is set to meet Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House - marking the first visit of a foreign leader during Mr Trump's second term.
Mr Trump said he would hold talks with his counterpart in Tehran, but warned he's left "instructions" for his advisers that if Iran assassinated him, the US foe "would be obliterated".
Mr Trump also claimed today that Palestinians have "no alternative" but to leave Gaza, but that he doesn't necessarily support Israelis settling in the enclave.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump also signed a "tough" directive on Iran because Tehran was "too close" to having a nuclear weapon.
