United States President Donald Trump has indicated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could visit the White House as early as next week, marking what would be Netanyahu's first visit since the recent US-Israel military campaign involving Iran.
Speaking to Axios, Trump said Netanyahu had requested the meeting and suggested it could take place after his attendance at the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, on July 7–8.
The planned meeting comes amid reports of disagreements between the two leaders over regional security issues. Trump has previously criticized Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon, while Israel has opposed some US-led efforts aimed at easing tensions with Iran.
Despite speculation about a strained relationship, Trump dismissed reports of a serious rift, saying he and Netanyahu "get along very well."
The United States remains Israel's closest ally and continues to provide significant military and diplomatic support. Netanyahu's expected visit would be his seventh official trip to the US since Trump returned to office in January 2025.
The visit also comes as the Trump administration faces domestic criticism over its handling of the conflict with Iran, with recent opinion polls showing many Americans oppose further military involvement in the region.
Netanyahu's previous visit to Washington took place in February, shortly before the latest escalation involving Israel, the United States, and Iran. He also remains the subject of arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court, whose authority is not recognized by either Israel or the United States.
