Netanyahu to meet Trump on Tuesday

JERUSALEM, July 24: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, the Israeli leader's office said.

Netanyahu's visit comes at a time when tensions have mounted between the two leaders over the handling of the war with Iran.

"As part of the visit, the prime minister will meet with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday and attend the funeral service for Senator Lindsey Graham, a friend of Israel," Netanyahu's office said, adding that he will depart for Washington on Monday.

Since Trump's return to the White House last year, the two have already met six times.�" AFP
