Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold separate meetings with President Biden and former President Trump this week.
Netanyahu will meet with Biden on Thursday in Washington, the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, will host Netanyahu for a meeting Friday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida
Trump confirmed the meeting on his social media site Truth Social.
“Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday,” Trump said in his post.
The meetings come after Netanyahu’s aides have reportedly worked for weeks to develop inroads with Trump since the relationship soured after the Israeli leader recognized President Biden’s election victory in 2020.
Trump said he is promoting a “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH” foreign policy agenda, written in all capital letters, as the strategy to end the war in the Middle East, and Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Netanyahu is also expected to meet separately with Vice President Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, but a time and date has not yet been announced.
