The Israeli premier received the invitation during a phone call from Budapest. On the table possible discussions also on duties imposed by Washington

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will soon visit Washington, but the official date of the meeting with US President Donald Trump has not yet been set. This was revealed by Trump himself, speaking to reporters on board Air Force One, anticipating that Netanyahu’s arrival could take place as early as “next week”. However, US administration sources later clarified to Axios that the visit will not take place for a few weeks, confirming that the invitation has been formalised, but the timetable remains open.

According to reports in the Times of Israel, the Israeli PM’s office confirmed a phone call between Trump and Netanyahu yesterday while the latter was in Budapest for an official meeting. Netanyahu is expected to return to Israel on Sunday morning, and the Passover festivities will kick off over the weekend, a further element that makes an immediate visit unlikely.

A possible central theme of the bilateral agenda will be the duties imposed by Trump on Israel, announced with a 17% tariff, a measure that could be the subject of direct confrontation between the two leaders.

While in Hungary, Netanyahu attended a joint press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, expressing full support for the Magyar government’s decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. ‘It is a courageous decision,’ Netanyahu said, “you are the first, but I think not the last. The Israeli PM called the ICC a politicised institution, accusing it of hostility towards Israel and of not opposing terrorism.

The visit to Washington, when confirmed, will be the second since the start of Trump’s new term: in February, Netanyahu had been the first foreign leader received at the White House by the US president.
