According to a senior American official, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit the White House on Monday.
The two countries are working with a set of extremely prickly issues, including 17 percent tariff shocks on President Donald Trump’s Israeli imports, an elusive discovery for a ceasefire in Gaza and anxious concern over Iran’s nuclear program.
If both people discuss the tariff, as it seems almost certain, Netanyahu will be the first foreign leader to travel to Washington in an attempt to interact on a better deal with Trump.
Israel tried to extend the tariffs imposed in almost every country on Tuesday a day before Trump’s Big Global Tariff announcement – which still to leave all the remaining duties on one percent of the American goods affected by them.
But Trump proceeded with Tariff that the United States had a significant trade deficit with its Middle East allies and top beneficiaries of military aid.
On Saturday, a White House official confirmed that Netanyahu was expected at the White House on Monday. The officer spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Trump said on Thursday that he expected a visit from Netanyahu soon – “Maybe next week” – although the Exios website said that some people were surprised in Israeli officials and even Trump administration.
The US and Israeli leaders are likely to fulfill efforts to reach a new agreement on the Gaza ceasefire deal and to reach a new agreement by the remaining hostages of Hamas terrorists. Israel renewed military operations last month, abolishing a short -term Trus.
Meanwhile, Trump has pressed Iran, for a new deal on his nuclear program, some signs of progress. There is widespread speculation that Israel, possibly with American help, can begin a military strike on Iranian features if no compromise has been made.
Netanyahu’s American visit, originally expected to be at the end of this month, seems to have been moved up after the tariff announcement on Wednesday, exio in exioos.
Trump and Netanyahu spoke by phone on Thursday about the decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Thursday, and the possibility of a visit to Washington at that time was clearly generated.
