U.S. President Donald Trump is set on Wednesday to host Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, at the White House, with discussions expected to centre on Iran and the situation in the Middle East.
According to Netanyahu, the talks would focus primarily on ongoing U.S. negotiations with Iran.
The Israeli leader said he planned to present Israel’s perspective on the discussions with the Islamic Republic.
The two leaders are also expected to address the situation in the Gaza Strip and broader regional developments.
Israeli daily, Yedioth Ahronoth, reported that Netanyahu intends to share updated intelligence with Trump regarding Iran’s missile programme.
The newspaper also said Netanyahu planned to raise what he described as violent repression by Tehran against its own citizens.
Rights groups had accused Iranian authorities of using force to suppress mass protests, including during unrest that peaked in early January, when thousands of demonstrators were reported killed.
