Netanyahu is finally getting his White House meeting. He may not like what comes with it.

Politico · back to the audit
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected at the White House this week at a moment of significant tension between the longtime allies -- after months of waiting for an invitation to come. At the G7 summit in France, Trump called the Israeli leader 'crazy' and used an expletive to describe his judgment, even as he insisted 'without me, there would be no Israel.' The funeral of close Netanyahu confidant Sen. Lindsey Graham provided an opening. U.S. and Israeli goals in the war have increasingly diverged. While Israel has wanted to keep fighting, Trump has been more optimistic about diplomacy.
