Netanyahu in Washington

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington, D.C., meeting with American diplomats Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner yesterday and scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump today. Netanyahu is reportedly making this trip out of concern that U.S. negotiations with Iran will ignore Israeli interests. He is scheduled to return to Washington next Tuesday to attend a meeting of the Board of Peace and an American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference. Whatever the results of these talks, the way that Americans treat Israelis’ security is a matter far more consequential than most people realize.
