The office of ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump on Friday, with the two leaders agreeing to meet "soon" in the United States.
The meeting is set to come months after the United States and ‘Israel’ launched a joint war against Iran beginning on February 28, and followed reports of tensions between the two leaders over a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending the war.
In a statement, Netanyahu's office said that during the conversation, Trump said that the United States is the guarantor of global freedom, and that ‘Israel’ highly values the close relationship between the two.
The statement added that "Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump agreed to meet soon in the US".
It also said Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the 250th anniversary of US independence.
Washington is ‘Israel's’ closest ally. However, Trump has publicly criticized Netanyahu in recent weeks after ‘Israeli’ attacks in Lebanon threatened peace talks with Iran, which had conditioned any agreement on ending the war across all fronts, including the front between the ‘Israeli’ army and Hezbollah.
