US President Donald Trump has announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit Washington next Tuesday for high-level talks, as the Middle East faces mounting military and diplomatic tensions.

Speaking at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, Trump confirmed that Netanyahu would travel to the United States next week. Israel later confirmed that the prime minister will arrive in Washington on Monday and hold talks with Trump at the White House on Tuesday.

The meeting comes at a critical time as hostilities involving the United States, Israel, and Iran continue to escalate. The leaders are expected to discuss the evolving security situation, regional stability, military cooperation, and diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflict. While the White House has not released a formal agenda, the talks are widely expected to focus on developments surrounding Iran and broader Middle East security challenges.

Netanyahu is also expected to attend the funeral of late US Senator Lindsey Graham during his visit to Washington. The late senator was a close ally of both Trump and the Israeli prime minister and played a prominent role in shaping US policy on Israel and the Middle East.

The upcoming meeting will be closely watched by allies and adversaries alike, as decisions taken by Washington and Jerusalem could significantly influence the trajectory of the ongoing regional crisis and future diplomatic efforts.
