Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House on Tuesday, with Iran expected to loom over the talks as Washington weighs its next steps against the regime. The meeting comes at a critical moment for the two allies, amid mounting regional pressure and growing uncertainty over how far the confrontation with Tehran could escalate.
During the visit, Netanyahu will also attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime friend of Israel and one of its most outspoken supporters in Washington.
The combination of diplomacy and mourning will bring Netanyahu to the U.S. capital at a particularly sensitive moment—just as decisions made in Washington could help determine the next phase of the conflict with Iran.
