Channel 14 analyst Tamir Mor assessed Wednesday evening that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will depart for Washington, D.C., early next week, meet President Donald Trump on Monday, and return to Israel on Wednesday. The assessment has not been confirmed by the Prime Minister's Office.
On Sunday, July 12, multiple reports emerged on the trip's timeline. Reuters reported that the meeting with Trump was taking shape as a confirmed element of the trip. Later that day, sources told Army Radio the meeting was expected Monday. A report from journalist Shirit Avitan Cohen (Israel Hayom) said Netanyahu would depart Sunday, meet Trump Monday, and attend Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral Tuesday. A subsequent report from Sunday indicated Sunday departure and Monday meeting without mentioning the funeral. The PMO has not issued an official schedule.
As The Zioneer reported on July 5, Netanyahu's close associates assessed he would depart for the US in the coming week for a meeting with Trump. On July 8, The Zioneer reported that Netanyahu was expected to fly Saturday night, but a meeting with Trump had not yet been set. The trip is expected to focus on the Iran nuclear program, the war in Gaza, and normalization with Saudi Arabia, according to previous reports.
The latest assessment omits any mention of the Graham funeral, which was included in some earlier reports. No official confirmation has been received from the White House or the Prime Minister's Office.
