Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump in the US on December 29, a source in the prime minister’s office tells The Times of Israel.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, according to another Israeli official.

Netanyahu is currently looking at a weeklong visit from December 28 to January 4, says the second official, though government offices in the US are shuttered on January 1.
