President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Wednesday, as tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and negotiations intensify over curbing Iran's nuclear weapons programme.
Netanyahu is expected to press Trump to pursue a deal that would halt Iran's uranium enrichment, and rein in its support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
"I will present to the president our outlook regarding the principles of these negotiations," Netanyahu told reporters before leaving for the US.
Iran has said it will not limit uranium enrichment unless Western nations scale back sanctions that have severely strained its economy.
Netanyahu's visit on Wednesday marks his sixth trip to the US since Trump's return to office - more than any other world leader.
