President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that he had a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and suggested that the Israeli leader could visit the United States as early as next week.
Speaking briefly to reporters, Trump did not elaborate on the content of their discussion but noted, “I had a very good call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. He might come to the U.S. next week — we’ll see.”
The potential visit comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East.
Trump has maintained close ties with Netanyahu over the years and has often expressed strong support for Israel.
Neither the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office nor Trump’s campaign team have officially confirmed the visit at this time.
Maronite Patriarch Béchara Raï reiterated his support Sunday for the US-brokered framework agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel in late June, describing it during his Sunday homily as a "national path to resolving outstanding issues, consolidating a just, comprehensive and lasting peace, and preserving the state's sovereignty over its entire territory."
US embassies in Jerusalem, Baghdad and Amman issued security alerts Saturday urging American citizens to exercise "heightened vigilance," as tensions flare between Iran and the United States. Americans were also told to "consider departing, or be prepared to depart should there be escalation."
President Donald Trump said Friday that Israel was "very happy" with an agreement reached by his so-called Board of Peace for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups in Gaza.
