Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boards the Wing of Zion plane ahead of his trip to Washington, DC, this week.

He is joined by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Diplomatic Adviser Ophir Falk, Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman, Military Secretary Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman, government hostage point man Gal Hirsch, and other top aides.

Netanyahu is currently slated to meet US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, but that may well change, a senior official tells The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu’s delegation will be staying at the Blair House next to the White House.
