What is known about Netanyahu's visit to the US

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may visit the US early next week. He will then become the first foreign leader with whom Trump will meet.

The visit is still in the planning stage, and its date has not been officially confirmed. Both US and Israeli officials say the agreements are still preliminary.

According to CNN, the issue of Netanyahu's visit to Washington was discussed during a phone call between the two leaders a few days before Trump's inauguration. US Ambassador to the Middle East Steve Witkoff traveled to the region last week. During his visit to Israel, he likely helped coordinate the details of the upcoming meeting.

No official invitation has yet been received, Netanyahu's spokesman reported on social media.

Earlier it became known that the Trump administration lifted the ban imposed by Joe Biden on the supply of 900-kilogram bombs to Israel.
