JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday he will travel to Washington next week to meet U.S. President Donald Trump and other officials.
Speaking to a meeting of his Cabinet, Netanyahu did not elaborate on the contents of his visit, except to say he will discuss a trade deal.
Netanyahu’s visit comes as Trump has signaled he is ready for Israel and Hamas to wind down the war in Gaza, which is likely to be a focus of their talks. Iran, following the 12-day war with Israel, is also expected to be a main topic of discussion.
