Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit with US President Donald Trump on Monday will include lunch and a meeting, as well as a press conference with the two leaders, according to a schedule distributed by the White House Sunday night local time.
The meeting, Netanyahu’s fourth trip to the White House since Trump returned to office in January, will focus on the US president’s 21-point plan to end the Gaza war, set up a postwar governing mechanism, and bring back the 48 hostages held by the terror group, some 20 of whom are thought to be alive.
Netanyahu has spent Sunday meeting with advisers in his hotel in preparation for the White House visit.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time (6 p.m. in Israel), when Trump will greet Netanyahu, according to the itinerary. The two men will then hold a meeting and sit for a meal together, followed by the press conference, scheduled for 1:15 p.m.
