Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for the United States on Monday evening for a meeting with President Donald Trump, according to a Channel 14 report. The broadcaster's Yinon Magal said the meeting carries political significance and is important ahead of the elections.
The departure follows earlier reports of the planned trip. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the meeting is expected to focus on enlisting U.S. support for action against Iran's nuclear complex. The visit marks the eighth meeting between Netanyahu and Trump since Trump's return to the White House.
The trip comes against the backdrop of the collapse of the Islamabad Agreement and subsequent U.S. retaliatory strikes against Iranian infrastructure, as well as ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear program and support for regional proxies.
