Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are both set for White House meetings with President Donald Trump, creating a high-profile moment for two leaders trying to advance their own wartime priorities. The visits place Trump at the center of separate but closely watched international conflicts.
The planned meetings are expected to give both Zelenskyy and Netanyahu a chance to make their case directly to the president. While the issues facing Ukraine and Israel are different, both leaders are described as seeking Trump's attention and backing as they navigate ongoing war-related pressures.
The White House setting underscores the political weight of the talks. Any discussion involving Trump, Netanyahu and Zelenskyy is likely to be scrutinized for signals about U.S. policy, personal relationships and the direction of American engagement with both countries.
In addition to their White House meetings, Zelenskyy and Netanyahu are also expected to attend the funeral service for Sen. Lindsey Graham. That appearance adds another notable element to a Washington visit already shaped by diplomacy, politics and the competing agendas of two wartime leaders.
