Netanyahu Prepares for US Visit to Meet Trump


(MENAFN) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed Tel Aviv on Sunday for the United States, where he is scheduled to hold talks with President Donald Trump and other senior figures, according to local reports.

A public broadcaster stated that Netanyahu, accompanied by his wife Sara and a delegation, left “for a political visit to Florida.”

His office confirmed that on Monday, the premier will meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio before heading to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence at 22:30 Israel time (20:30 GMT).

Details of the second day of the trip were not disclosed. However, an Israeli newspaper indicated that Tuesday may include a meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu is expected to engage with US evangelical leaders and later attend a synagogue event in Miami alongside his wife. Members of Congress and prominent figures from the Jewish community are also anticipated to participate, according to his office.

The visit is set to conclude on Thursday.

Media outlets reported that discussions between Netanyahu and Trump will primarily focus on the Gaza ceasefire and the transition to the next stage of the agreement.
