U.S. President Donald Trump said on ‌Friday (July 24, 2026), that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit ⁠the U.S. next week.

Mr. Trump’s comments came in his speech at the White ‌House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Friday (July 24, 2026), while he was falsely ‌casting U.S. Senator Chuck ‌Schumer ⁠as Palestinian.

“I am going ⁠to send him [Schumer] a beautiful Palestinian outfit tomorrow, so he can greet Bibi Netanyahu when ‌he comes to town next week,” Mr. Trump said.

“He turned Palestinian,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Schumer, who is Jewish, ‌while also joking that sharia law was Mr. Schumer’s ‘new founding.’

U.S. Muslim and Jewish advocacy groups ⁠have previously criticised Mr. Trump for calling Mr. Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, ‌a Palestinian, with the rights groups saying Mr. Trump uses the term disrepectfully as a slur and as an insult.

Mr. Netanyahu’s office said earlier that he will ‌travel to Washington on Monday (July 27, 2026), and will meet with Mr. Trump on Tuesday (July 28, 2026). Mr. Netanyahu will also attend ⁠deceased U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral, his ⁠office said. The Trump-Netanyahu meeting will come as the ‌U.S.-Israel war on Iran completes five months.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to leave Israel on Sunday (February 1, 2025) for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, looking to strengthen ties with Washington after tensions with the previous White House administration over the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu suggests Israel might not complete its withdrawal from Lebanon by ceasefire deadline

Mr. Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to visit Mr. Trump since his inauguration last month, leaves with the ceasefire in Gaza still holding and negotiations aimed at a second phase expected to begin this week.

“The decisions we made in the war have already changed the face of the Middle East,” he said at the airport before his departure.

“Our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. But, I believe that working closely with President Trump, we can redraw it even further and for the better.”

Mr. Netanyahu, who faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court over allegations of war crimes in Gaza, had strained relations with Mr. Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden and has not visited the White House since returning to office at the end of 2022.
