Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, according to a report by Axios. The visit marks a high-level diplomatic engagement as tensions in the Middle East continue and U.S.-Israel trade policies evolve under the Trump administration.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, President Trump confirmed the meeting and previewed the agenda. “We’ll speak about Israel, and we’ll speak about what’s going on,” he said. “That’s another thing we’d like to get solved.” The president did not elaborate further on the meeting’s format or deliverables.

According to Axios, the leaders are expected to address a range of critical issues. Chief among them is the 17% tariff imposed on Israeli exports as part of Trump’s broader reciprocal trade policy initiative. The measure has drawn international attention and spurred high-level negotiations across multiple allied nations.

Also on the agenda is the ongoing war in Gaza, which has continued to escalate despite calls for de-escalation. Netanyahu is likely to brief Trump on the security situation and recent Israeli operations in the region. The two leaders are also expected to address concerns over Iran’s nuclear program, an issue both have previously identified as a top national security priority.

Netanyahu’s trip follows President Trump’s push for a series of new tariffs on foreign imports, including a 10% baseline tariff and increased rates targeting over 50 trading partners. Israel’s 17% rate was among the first announced in the new tariff schedule.

The meeting underscores the enduring U.S.-Israel relationship amid changing global dynamics and the Trump administration’s intensified focus on national sovereignty, trade balance, and Middle East stability.
