WASHINGTON/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump said Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may visit the United States next week.
The potential visit comes amid heightened regional tensions, as fighting in Gaza continues and dozens of hostages remain in captivity. Additionally, the U.S. has suggested it may bomb Iran, possibly backed by Israel, if the Islamic Republic continues its perceived efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.
“I spoke to him today,” Trump said, referring to Netanyahu, “and I think he’s going to be coming to our country sometime in the not too distant future, maybe next week.”
Trump made the announcement following talks with Netanyahu, who is currently visiting Hungary.
Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary is his first to a European Union nation since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for the Israeli leader’s arrest over alleged war crimes in Gaza. He has vehemently denied the charges.
Hungary has said it won’t extradite Netanyahu to The Hague-based ICC.
Unlike the United States, Hungary is an ICC member state and, as such, is technically obliged to hand over those mentioned in arrest warrants, including Netanyahu.
However, Hungary announced Thursday that it would withdraw from the “political court” and guarantee Netanyahu’s security. The Israeli was to leave Hungary on Sunday.
