Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu To Visit The White House

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the White House for his first meeting with President Donald Trump since the two leaders delivered a crushing blow to Iran’s nuclear program.

The White House confirmed to The Daily Wire that Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on Monday, July 7, his third presidential meeting since Trump took office in January.

The two leaders are expected to discuss their successful campaign against Iran, the ongoing war with Hamas, and the possibility of expanding the Abraham Accords.

The meeting comes after Israel launched the 12-day campaign, “Operation Rising Lion,” in an attempt to remove the threat of a significant number of Iranian ballistic missiles and severely harm Iran’s nuclear program. Before the operation concluded, Trump ordered American forces to strike three key Iranian nuclear sites using Tomahawk missiles and 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs — delivered by B-2 Spirit bombers.

Last week, Trump brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, bringing the conflict to an end but promising to strike again if Iran resumes enriching uranium to high levels.

Trump has signaled his strong support for Netanyahu in recent days by chastising Israeli courts for proceeding with a case against the Jewish state’s leader. Trump drew parallels to his own prosecutions by American courts, calling it a “political witch hunt” and saying that any such proceedings could “interfere” with ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas to return the 50 hostages in Gaza.

“Importantly, he is right now in the process of negotiating a Deal with Hamas, which will include getting the Hostages back,” Trump said. “How is it possible that the Prime Minister of Israel can be forced to sit in a Courtroom all day long, over NOTHING (Cigars, Bugs Bunny Doll, etc.).”

He said that it was “terrible what they are doing in Israel to Bibi Netanyahu.”

“The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar [sic] a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel,” Trump added. “We are not going to stand for this. We just had a Great Victory with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the helm — And this greatly tarnishes our Victory. LET BIBI GO, HE’S GOT A BIG JOB TO DO!”

Netanyahu last visited the White House in April to discuss Trump’s new tariff plan and the ongoing war with Hamas. In February, he met with Trump in the Oval Office, the first foreign leader to do so in Trump’s second term.
