Trump-Netanyahu White House Meeting Set for Monday
Published
Israeli officials said Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's White House meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump is now set for Monday. The reported appointment follows a recent call in which the two leaders agreed to meet, with Netanyahu expected to travel to Washington early next week. Earlier reports had described Monday only as the expected date if the meeting occurred, while a White House official had said Tuesday that the visit was not on the president's schedule at that time. The latest report therefore marks a scheduling development, though neither government had published a formal agenda when it appeared.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on whether the meeting was scheduled: Ynet reports Israeli officials said it was set for Monday; Israel Hayom reported earlier that Monday was only expected if a meeting occurred, and Israel National News quoted a White House official saying no visit was on the schedule at that time. The remaining facts are uniform: Trump and Netanyahu agreed to meet after a recent call, and the Israeli side was preparing a Washington visit.
