Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for Washington on Monday morning to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
Netanyahu flew out of Ben-Gurion International Airport around 11 a.m. Israel time. "Tomorrow I will fly to Washington to meet, at his invitation, with President Trump," Netanyahu said during the regular weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday.
The prime minister planned to address multiple matters during the visit. "I will also discuss all pending issues with President Trump, including the situation in Iran," He said.
Netanyahu's itinerary also included participation in a memorial service for Sen. Lindsey Graham.
The visit reflects ongoing strategic coordination between Israel and the Trump administration in the context of recent Iranian tensions and broader regional matters under discussion between the two allies. According to Axios, Netanyahu has met with Trump in the Oval Office six times since Trump took office in January 2025, more frequently than any other world leader.
