Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will depart for Washington on Monday and meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed. The announcement was reported by N12's Amit Segal.
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed Friday afternoon that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, as reported by N12's Amit Segal. The confirmation comes after the PMO earlier announced the trip, including the meeting and Netanyahu's attendance at the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham.
The Zioneer reported at 17:13 Jerusalem that the PMO had announced the trip, with the prime minister departing Monday and meeting Trump on Tuesday, as well as attending the funeral. The PMO also stated that journalists would not be allowed to accompany the prime minister on the Wing of Zion aircraft.
The visit follows weeks of discussions between the White House and the Prime Minister's Office, as The Zioneer reported on Wednesday. President Trump had hinted at the meeting earlier this month, saying Netanyahu "knows who the boss is."
The PMO's confirmation of the Tuesday meeting solidifies the schedule, though no further details on the agenda have been released.
