Report: US told PM to hold outpost bill until after Trump meeting

Channel 2 TV says the White House told Netanyahu to delay the final votes on the controversial bill to legalize outposts built on privately owned Palestinian land until after he met with Trump in Washington on February 15.

The bill is being presented for the second and third votes tonight, and is expected to pass.

According to the report, the message was passed through more than one channel.

Sources close to the prime minister denied the claim, the television station says.
