PM Netanyahu departs on diplomatic visit to Washington

Prime Minister Netanyahu departs for Washington, D.C. to meet President Trump, discussing Iran negotiations and regional security for Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to his departure for a diplomatic visit to Washington [translated from Hebrew]:

“I am now leaving for the United States for my seventh trip to meet with President Trump since he was elected for a second term. This, of course, does not include his unforgettable visit to Israel and his speech in the Knesset.

I think these reflect the unique closeness of the extraordinary relationship that we have with the United States, that I personally have with the President, that the State of Israel has with the United States – unprecedented in our history.

On this trip we will discuss a range of issues: Gaza, the region, but of course, first and foremost, the negotiations with Iran. I will present to the President our outlook regarding the principles of these negotiations – the essential principles which, in my opinion, are important not only to Israel, but to everyone around the world who wants peace and security in the Middle East.”
