Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington earlier today and is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at 18:00 Jerusalem time, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The meeting will be closed to the media and is expected to last approximately three hours.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with President Donald Trump has been set for 18:00 Jerusalem time today, Tuesday, and will be closed to the media, lasting approximately three hours, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The specific timing was announced following the prime minister's arrival in Washington overnight, as The Zioneer reported at 02:52.
The meeting was first reported on Monday evening, when The Zioneer reported at 21:25 that Netanyahu had departed Israel, landed in Washington, and that the Prime Minister's Office had confirmed the arrival, with the meeting scheduled for Tuesday. Initial reports from Channel 14 were followed by official confirmation from the PMO. By 02:52 today, The Zioneer confirmed the landing and the Tuesday meeting schedule.
The visit is the eighth meeting between Netanyahu and Trump since the latter's election to a second term, as The Zioneer reported on July 27. The agenda is expected to focus on Iran's nuclear program and regional security, following the collapse of the 'Islamabad Agreement' and subsequent U.S. retaliatory strikes against Iranian infrastructure, as previously reported.
It remains unclear whether the meeting will produce a joint statement or a press conference, and whether any new developments on the Iran file will emerge during the talks.
