Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to attend US President-elect’s inauguration in Washington on January 20, Channel 13 news reports.

The television station quotes a source in the Prime Minister’s Office as confirming that the trip is under consideration, though “no final decision has yet been made on the matter.”

Netanyahu is due to begin giving testimony on Tuesday in his criminal trial, which would need to break to allow for the trip, the report notes.
