The meeting will be the sixth between Netanyahu and Trump since the US president returned to the White House last year.
The two leaders have maintained a close relationship, with Netanyahu previously describing Trump as "Israel's greatest friend in the White House."
Netanyahu's visit comes amid rising tensions between the two sides over the course of the war with Iran.
Relations between Trump and Netanyahu have reportedly deteriorated in recent weeks following the United States' signing of a memorandum of understanding with Iran.
Hebrew and US media have reported that Netanyahu has been seeking a meeting with Trump for weeks, fueling speculation about disagreements between the two leaders.
The visit to the White House comes just days after Trump hosted Lebanese President Joseph Aoun as part of US efforts to consolidate the ceasefire between ‘Israel’ and Hezbollah and advance the disarmament of the Iran-backed group.
Talks with Aoun focused on ‘Israel's’ withdrawal from southern Lebanon, a key demand of the Lebanese government under the framework agreement brokered by Washington.
Trump is also expected to discuss the Lebanon file with Netanyahu, along with the war with Iran, which began with joint US-‘Israeli’ strikes on the Islamic Republic on February 28.
Netanyahu's visit also comes nine months after Trump traveled to Jerusalem in October 2025, where he met the ‘Israeli’ prime minister during negotiations that ultimately led to a ceasefire in Gaza.
