President Donald Trump is expected to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday in what is being described as a high-stakes meeting. The planned sit-down puts both leaders at the center of a closely watched political moment in Washington.
Netanyahu’s visit comes at a politically fraught time for the Israeli prime minister, adding to the importance of the White House talks. Even with limited details about the agenda, the meeting is drawing attention because of the timing and the standing of the two leaders.
The trip is also expected to include Netanyahu’s attendance at the funeral of late Sen. Lindsey Graham. That additional event gives the Washington visit a broader political dimension beyond the White House meeting itself.
Taken together, the schedule points to a significant day for Trump and Netanyahu in the US capital. The White House meeting is likely to be watched for what it signals about their relationship and Netanyahu’s position at a sensitive moment.
