President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington. “The alliance between Israel and the US has always been very strong, and it's about to be even stronger," Netanyahu told reporters before embarking on the four-day trip to Washington.

"We have known each other for years, but this will be his first meeting since being elected as President of the United States and mine as Prime Minister of Israel," Netanyahu said at this week's Cabinet meeting.

Trump vowed to work toward a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, but said it would require compromise on both sides, leaving it up to the parties themselves to ultimately decide the terms of any agreement./.
