A meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump is reportedly set to take place at the White House on Monday, according to a report.
A new report Wednesday afternoon indicates that the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump at the White House is set for Monday. The report, which cites a single source, advances the timeline from earlier today at 15:19 Jerusalem, when a report said the meeting was expected but not yet finalized. The development marks the latest in a series of updates that have progressively solidified the meeting's schedule over the past several days.
On Sunday, July 12, at 12:02 Jerusalem, initial reports emerged that Netanyahu was examining the possibility of attending Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral. By version 4 of the thread, his attendance at the funeral was confirmed, and the PMO was seeking a Trump meeting. Version 6 reported that the White House had not yet given final approval. By version 7, the PMO confirmed a scheduled meeting with Trump. Version 11, at the same timestamp, cited sources saying the meeting was expected Monday but not finalized. Version 12 reiterated that the meeting had not yet been finalized. Corroboration evolved from single sources to multiple outlets—Army Radio, Reuters, N12, Israel Hayom—but the current report returns to a single source.
As The Zioneer reported on July 4, Netanyahu and Trump agreed to a White House meeting amid rising tensions over Iran's nuclear program. On the same day, Israeli officials expressed doubt that the meeting would take place as originally expected. The meeting is seen as critical as negotiations over Iran's nuclear program reach a critical stage.
The new report remains unconfirmed by official channels. No statement has been issued by the White House or the Prime Minister's Office. The meeting's agenda and exact timing on Monday have not been specified.
