Trump to meet with Israel's Netanyahu and Gantz on peace plan on Monday
U.S. President Donald Trump will hold back-to-back meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz on Monday as he prepares to release his long-delayed Middle East peace plan, Reuters reports.
Trump will meet first with Netanyahu, Israel’s veteran right-wing leader, and then with the latter’s election rival Gantz, who just last week dropped his objection to having the peace plan published before Israel’s March vote, a schedule released by the White House showed.
He will meet with Netanyahu again on Tuesday, and the two of them are scheduled to deliver joint remarks.
During the talks with both Israeli politicians, Trump is likely to share some details of his plan, a U.S. source familiar with the subject said.
“Today, I leave to Washington to stand by an American president who brings a plan which I believe is promoting our most crucial interests ... together with him, we will make history,” Netanyahu said before taking off for the U.S. capital.
Trump said last week he would release details of his peace initiative before meeting with Netanyahu and Gantz, but the White House has yet to say exactly when the plan will be made public.
