United States President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the US next week as the US military continues to attack parts of Iran after peace talks failed despite weeks of negotiations and the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.Trump’s comments came in his speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Friday.Netanyahu and Trump agreed to meet in the United States after a phone conversation a few weeks ago. During the call, Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and praised the close ties between the two countries. This comes as the US-Israeli war with Iran has again escalated following the breakdown of a ceasefire signed as part of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by the US and Iran earlier this month.Israel had opposed the agreement from the beginning, while its continued military operations in Lebanon had repeatedly threatened diplomatic efforts in the region.The Trump administration is also mediating separate talks between Israel and Lebanon aimed at ending hostilities. Hezbollah is not included in the talks.Both sides have accepted a proposal under which Israeli-occupied areas in southern Lebanon would eventually be handed over to the Lebanese Army. However, little progress has been made on the ground since March.During a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun earlier this week, Trump did not indicate when Israeli forces would withdraw from the occupied territories.Meanwhile, the US military said its Central Command had completed its 13th consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran.Iran has continued to respond with attacks on US military assets across the region. Last week, three American soldiers were killed in an attack on an American base in Jordan.The United States has also increased its military deployment to Israel, a move that some analysts believe may signal preparations for broader regional escalation.Netanyahu’s visit will also take place as Israel’s military campaign continues in Gaza. Despite a US-backed ceasefire announced last October, Israeli forces have continued to issue evacuation orders and carry out frequent attacks across the region.
