U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to meet twice in Washington on Tuesday, once for a work meeting and then for an informal dinner, Axios reported on Friday.
The work meeting is expected around noon Eastern Time (1700 GMT) and then the two leaders will dine with their spouses, Axios reported, citing an unidentified source.
The meeting, confirmed this week by their respective governments, is set to take place amid a fragile six-week ceasefire that has brought a temporary pause to 15 months of fighting between Israel and the militant group Hamas in Gaza.
