Netanyahu’s Office Denies CNN Report of Urgent Trump Meeting Request

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said a CNN report claiming he is seeking an urgent meeting with US President Donald Trump after Trump returns from Europe is false.

The office dismissed the report as “fake news,” rejecting the claim that Netanyahu had asked for such a meeting. No additional details were provided about any actual plans for contact between the two leaders.

The statement was issued in response to the CNN item, which said Netanyahu wanted the meeting after Trump’s trip to Europe. The denial leaves the report unconfirmed and indicates, at least publicly, that no urgent meeting request has been made.
