Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday night, and his meeting with President Donald Trump is now scheduled for Tuesday, according to reports. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the arrival earlier Monday evening, marking the official start of the Israeli leader's eighth visit to the White House.
The Zioneer reported on Monday that Netanyahu had departed for the United States, and later confirmed his landing. The PMO's official confirmation followed shortly after. The visit is the eighth face-to-face meeting between Netanyahu and Trump, underscoring the close ties between the two leaders.
The summit comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts regarding Iran's nuclear program. As The Zioneer reported in June, Trump and Netanyahu have been in close coordination as a nuclear deal with Iran nears finalization. The meeting is expected to focus on security coordination and the Iranian threat, though the precise agenda has not been officially disclosed.
It remains unclear whether a joint statement or press conference is planned following the meeting.
