Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, amid rising tensions between the two leaders over Iran.
According to Netanyahu’s office, the Israeli Prime Minister will meet President Trump at the White House on Tuesday, where he will also attend the funeral of late US Senator Lindsey Graham.
Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for Washington on Monday. This will be the sixth meeting between the two leaders since Trump was re-elected as US President last year. The two leaders have a close relationship, with Netanyahu having praised Trump as Israel’s ‘greatest friend’ at the White House.
The new meeting comes at a time when there have been reports of tension in the alliance between the two leaders in recent months, after Trump increased pressure on his ally Netanyahu over the complex Iran nuclear deal talks.
