Trump To Meet Netanyahu At White House On Tuesday

According to Axios, President Donald Trump will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, according to a statement from Netanyahu's office. The statement said Netanyahu will depart for Washington on Monday for an official visit, meet Trump at the White House on Tuesday and attend the funeral service for Senator Lindsey Graham. Axios reported that Netanyahu has met with Trump six times in the Oval Office since Trump returned to office about a year and a half ago, and that Trump is considering resuming major combat operations in Iran that could include a joint military campaign with Israel. Axios also reported that some White House officials said last week Netanyahu tried to "will the meeting into existence," and Trump told Axios on Thursday that he would meet Netanyahu if he was in town for Graham's funeral ceremony.
