Trump and Netanyahu to meet soon
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may meet Donald Trump at the White House next week, the American president tells the news site Axios.
A meeting would take place after reports of tensions between the two over attempts to end the war against Iran, which the United States and Israel began in late February.
Trump has been openly critical of Netanyahu since Israel's war against Hezbollah in Lebanon threatened peace talks.
But in the phone call with Axios, Trump says that the relationship is good, because Netanyahu "knows who's in charge".
- We get along very well, says Trump.
An Israeli official says next week may be too early for the visit, as Trump is due to travel to Turkey for the NATO summit on July 7-8.
“It could happen the following week,” the official says.
The two last met on February 11 in Washington.
