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.

Avishay Edri wants to move back to the kibbutz he evacuated in southern Israel after it was attacked by Palestinian gunmen two years ago, but is hesitating as fears persist that the war in nearby Gaza will resume and it will not be safe.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that Hezbollah was seeking to rearm and that Israel would exercise its right to self-defence under last year's ceasefire accord if Lebanon failed to disarm the militant group.
The partial remains of three bodies in Gaza handed over to Israel overnight did not belong to any of the hostages held in the Palestinian territory, Israeli media reported on Saturday.
