President Donald Trump said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the US next week, according to Reuters.
Trump’s comments came in his speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Netanyahu’s office said earlier that he will travel to Washington on Monday and will meet with Trump on Tuesday. Netanyahu will also attend deceased US Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral, his office said.
The Trump-Netanyahu meeting will come as the US-Israeli war on Iran completes five months.
