Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will remain in Washington until Saturday night, his office says, citing “the many requests for meetings from US officials.”
He was originally slated to head back to Israel on Thursday.
The change means that Netanyahu will be in the US over the Jewish Sabbath, and will be abroad as the next release of hostages from Gaza is expected to take place.
