JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, the Israeli leader’s office said.
Since Trump’s return to office last year, the two have already met six times, most recently on February 11 in Washington.
But this visit comes at a time when disagreements between them over the handling of the war with Iran have occasionally spilled into public view.
“As part of the visit, the prime minister will meet with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday and attend the funeral service for Senator Lindsey Graham, a friend of Israel,” Netanyahu’s office said, adding that he would depart for Washington on Monday.
The two leaders were closely aligned when Trump returned to the White House, launching a joint war against Iran in late February that both sides initially hailed as a success.
