US President Donald Trump confirmed his intention to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
Yesterday, the news site "Axios" reported that Netanyahu is planning a visit to the US capital next week for talks with Trump.
Today, President Trump officially confirmed the news, but did not specify a specific date, only noting that the meeting will take place "very soon".
The US president, known as a staunch supporter of Israel, will receive Netanyahu against the backdrop of a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. This ceasefire was achieved after more than 15 months of conflict between Israel and "Hamas". The war broke out following an attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement against Israel on October 7, 2023.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration announced its support for Israel's decision to end its cooperation with the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, Agence France-Presse reported. Israeli authorities claim that agency employees were involved in the October 7 attacks.
