US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet at the White House on Tuesday, a US official said on Friday.
The meeting, confirmed this week by the two leaders’ respective governments, is set to take place amid a fragile six-week ceasefire that has brought a temporary pause to 15 months of fighting between Israel and the militant group Hamas in Gaza.
“There will be a single working meeting Feb. 4 and more details will soon be forthcoming,” the US official said.
Axios reported earlier on Friday that the two leaders are expected to meet twice in Washington on Tuesday, once for a work meeting and then for an informal dinner.
The work meeting is expected around noon Eastern Time (1700 GMT) and then the two leaders will dine with their spouses, Axios had reported, citing an unidentified source.
