Before boarding Wing of Zion for his flight to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells reporters that he will “present to the president our approach around our principles on the negotiations.”

He says that these principles are important not only for Israel, but for every country around the world “that wants peace and security.”

The two leaders will discuss “a series of topics,” including Gaza, he says.

Netanyahu says that his repeated meetings with Trump are evidence of the “unique closeness” between Israel and the US, and between him and Trump personally.
