Israel says Netanyahu invited to meet Trump at White House

Benjamin Netanyahu has been invited to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House next week, the Israeli prime minister’s office has said.

Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the Israeli PM is the first foreign leader to be invited to the White House during Trump’s second term.

On Monday, while onboard Air Force One, Trump said Netanyahu would be travelling to Washington to meet him “very soon”, without giving a specific date.

More than 47,200 Palestinians, the majority civilians, have been killed in Israel’s subsequent offensive, Gaza’s ******-run health ministry says.
