The meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump is expected to take place on Monday, according to a report. The report noted the meeting has not been finalized.
A new report indicates that the meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump is expected to take place on Monday but has not yet been finalized. The report, which does not specify a location, follows an earlier Wednesday bulletin (15:09 Jerusalem) that cited sources familiar with plans telling Army Radio the meeting was expected at the White House on Monday. The latest update introduces a caveat absent from the earlier report.
The story has evolved over the past several days. On Sunday, July 12, The Zioneer reported that sources said Netanyahu was expected to meet Trump at the White House on Monday, after a day of multiple reports. Earlier that day, the Prime Minister's Office was reportedly seeking to coordinate a meeting, and by the afternoon, sources told Army Radio the meeting was set for Monday at the White House. The Wednesday bulletin confirmed that timeline. The current report maintains the Monday timeframe but adds that the meeting is not yet finalized.
The meeting is part of Netanyahu's trip to the United States for the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, which is scheduled for Tuesday. As The Zioneer reported, the Prime Minister's Office has been planning the trip and seeking a meeting with Trump since early July. Reports from earlier this month indicated uncertainty about the meeting's timing, with Israeli officials expressing doubt at one point.
It remains unclear whether the meeting has been finalized or what the venue will be, as the latest report omits a location. The absence of a location may indicate that arrangements are still being made.
