Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I’m heading out now to the United States for my seventh trip, to meet with President Trump since he was elected for his second term. This, of course, does not include his unforgettable visit to Israel and his speech in the Knesset.

“I believe these things reflect the unique closeness in the extraordinary relationship we have with the United States, and personally between me and the President, and between the State of Israel and the United States – something unprecedented in our history.

“On this trip we will discuss a series of issues: Gaza, the region, but of course first and foremost the negotiations with Iran.

“I will present to the President our positions regarding the principles of the negotiations, the important principles, and in my view they are important not only for Israel – but for everyone in the world who wants peace and security in the Middle East.”
