Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be flying to the US next week, his office tells The Times of Israel.
He will instead fly at the end of the month, the PMO says, citing senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral service being pushed off until then.
Netanyahu was expected to meet with US President Donald Trump on the trip, amid expanding back-and-forth attacks by the US and Iran and US-backed negotiations with Lebanon.
