The Prime Minister's Office announced Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned trip to the United States next week has been postponed because the memorial ceremony for Senator Lindsey Graham is expected to be delayed until the end of the month. The trip was to include a meeting with President Donald Trump, which had been reported as tentatively set for Monday. Israeli sources had indicated that the visit was being coordinated for a three-day stay, but the postponement of the Graham ceremony — originally scheduled for Tuesday — has led to the cancellation of the trip for next week. No new date for the trip or the meeting with Trump has been announced. The White House has not yet confirmed the meeting.
