Netanyahu Cancels US Trip Next Week Due to Senator Graham's Funeral Delay
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not travel to the United States next week as initially planned, following the postponement of the funeral of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away earlier this week at age 71. Netanyahu had intended to attend Graham's funeral, but the event has been delayed until at least the end of next week to accommodate the expected attendance of numerous foreign leaders.
Israeli officials had indicated that Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump were scheduled to meet at the White House next week, with Netanyahu originally set to depart for the US on Saturday. About two weeks ago, Netanyahu and Trump spoke to mark the 250th anniversary of US Independence Day, agreeing to meet soon. Netanyahu also expressed his appreciation for the strong ties between the two nations, calling the US "a guarantor of global freedom."
