Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attended a memorial service for two slain Israeli Embassy staffers at the end of his trip to Washington.

This marks the first meeting between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the war with Iran.

Whether dining opposite US President Donald Trump or accompanying her husband on an official Pentagon visit, Sara Netanyahu's front-row role in Washington this week has sparked fresh questions over her place in Israeli politics.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday hosted African leaders at the White House for lunch.As the administration continues its tariff negotiations with international trading partners, the president on Monday signed an executive order again extending the pause on many of those duties.

Despite those differences, they now appear close. After 21 months of audacious Israeli attacks on Iranian assets, decapitating its regional terrorist proxies and launching a war against Tehran that, with U.S. help, degraded their nuclear program, Netanyahu can help Trump deliver something he desperately covets: foreign policy wins.

The ongoing presence of negotiators from Hamas and Israel in the Qatari capital, Doha, suggests that both sides are serious about clinching a deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he wanted peace with Palestinians but described any future independent state as a platform to destroy Israel and for that reason sovereign power of security must remain with Israel.
