Netanyahu enters Trump Tower for first meet with candidates

Israeli TV shows images of Benjamin Netanyahu, surrounded by his large security detail, exiting a limo and entering the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan for his meeting with Donald Trump.

No press is being allowed in either this meeting or a later sit-down with Hillary Clinton, which comes a day before the first debate between the two presidential nominees, but official photos are expected to be released by their respective camps later.

Netanyahu is expected to use the meeting to speak to the candidates about the large defense aid package recently signed between Washington and Jerusalem, according to Channel 2.

He’s also expected to try and convince the two to block any anti-resolution in the UN Security Council, including an effort rumored to be in the works from US President Barack Obama after the election but before he leaves office.
