U.S. President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House next week, announced the White House on Wednesday, just weeks before Israelis cast their ballot in the April 9 election amid the two leaders facing legal and political scrutiny.

The two will “will discuss their countries’ shared interests and actions in the Middle East” on March 25, followed by dinner at the White House the next day, said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

Netanyahu will also address the audience at the annual AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, D.C.

“The administration is giving its middle finger to the Congress,” Sen. Chris Murphy told reporters, after he was denied access to U.S. military facilities in the Gulf.
“So much of the New York Oct. 7 story is the role that the New York Jewish community played in fighting for the return of the hostages,” Hindy Poupko of the UJA told JNS.
“The charging by the FBI of Haverford College associate professor Guangtian Ha for harassment and intimidation of a Jewish Israeli professor closes the dotted line between verbal acts of harassment and actionable violence which, when Jews are the recipients, is far too often ignored,” Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Deborah Project told JNS.
“Mamdani could not even give us one day to mourn without defaming the Jewish people and giving cover to our enemies,” Inna Vernikov, a Jewish member of the New York City Council, told JNS. “We will not let Mamdani and his radical pals rewrite Oct. 7.”
