Trump and Netanyahu to discuss ‘positive developments’ in Mideast, White House says

US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will “discuss positive developments taking place in the Middle East region, during their dinner tonight at the White House,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says in a press briefing.

Minister Avi Dichter, a member of the security cabinet, earlier told the Kan public broadcaster that he expected the meeting would go beyond Gaza to include the possibility of normalizing ties with Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.

“I think it will first of all be focused on a term we have often used but now has real meaning: a new Middle East,” he said.
