President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a meeting in the White House next week, the Government Press Office announced on Tuesday evening.
Prime Minister Netanyahu is the first foreign leader to be invited to the White House since the start of the president’s second term. The meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday.
The reported plans are for Netanyahu to depart on Sunday and return two days later.
Asked about the prospects for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians aboard Air Force One on Monday, Trump revealed he would be discussing the issue with Netanyahu during a meeting in Washington “in the not-too-distant future.”
According to unnamed American officials cited by AFP on Tuesday, the full details of Netanyahu’s trip could be announced after Wednesday’s scheduled visit to Jerusalem by U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff.
