The U.S. president will welcome the embattled Israeli leader just weeks before he’s on the ballot next month.
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 20 at 12:53 PM President Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House during his visit to Washington next week, a trip that comes just weeks ahead of the embattled leader’s bid for reelection next month.
Netanyahu, who is coming to Washington to attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee annual policy conference, is facing corruption charges back home that have complicated his reelection bid. During a 2015 visit by Netanyahu to Washington to address a joint session of Congress, then-President Barack Obama declined to meet with him ahead of an Israeli election. A spokesman cited a long-standing policy of avoiding the appearance of influencing a democratic election in a foreign country.
