The visit comes as the United States and Israel continue coordinating on major regional issues, including Iran, security cooperation and broader developments across the Middle East. According to reports, Netanyahu has now met Trump in the Oval Office more times than any other world leader since Trump returned to office.
During the trip, Netanyahu is also expected to attend the funeral of longtime U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who was widely regarded as one of Israel’s strongest allies in Congress. The Prime Minister’s Office described Graham as “a friend of Israel” whose support for the Jewish state remained unwavering throughout his career.
The White House meeting is expected to focus on strengthening the U.S.-Israel alliance following months of regional tensions and ongoing strategic cooperation between the two countries.
The visit highlights the close relationship between Trump and Netanyahu as both leaders continue working together on issues affecting Israel’s security and the future of the Middle East.
