US President Donald Trump invited Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for a meeting at the White House on Feb. 4, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said on Jan. 28. “Prime Minister Netanyahu is the first foreign leader to be invited to the White House during Trump’s second term,” the statement said.A White House official confirmed an invitation had been extended to the Israeli prime minister to meet “early next week”, reported AFP. The invitation comes after Trump called to “clean out” the Gaza Strip while asking Egypt and Jordan to take in the displaced Palestinians.During his first term, Trump frequently claimed that Israel “never had a better friend in the White House.”Soon after taking office for his second term, Trump approved a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. The shipment of the lethal weapon had previously been halted by his predecessor Joe Biden. Netanyahu, in turn, praised Trump for providing Israel with the “tools” to defend itself. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:05 “FEVERISH DREAM”, TRUMP TEAM’S ‘GAZA CONDOMS’ CLAIM SLAMMED3:40 US SENATE FAILS TO ADVANCE BILL SANCTIONING ICC4:25 “IDEA OF EXPELLING GAZANS UNACCEPTABLE”
