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.
This will be Netanyahu’s first official trip to Washington since the start of the Iran war. He has visited the White House six times since Trump began his current term, more than any other foreign leader in that period.
