Netanyahu could visit the U.S. soon, Trump says as dozens killed by strike on school in Gaza
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could visit the United States as early as next week, President Donald Trump said.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could visit the United States as early as next week, President Donald Trump said Thursday as dozens of people were killed in a strike on school in Gaza, according to Palestinian health officials.
“We’ll speak about Israel, and we’ll speak about what’s going on,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “That’s another thing we’d like to get solved,” he said, although he did not provide further details about the Israeli leader's trip. A spokesperson for Netanyahu’s office said they had nothing to add on the matter.
Trump's comments came as Israel has ramped up its military campaign in Gaza moving to seize swaths of territory across the enclave to expand what the country's military described as its “security zone.”
Dozens of people were killed in a strike on the Al-Arqam School in northern Gaza on Thursday where families were sheltering, according to local health officials and the Civil Defense agency in the enclave which has been run by Hamas since 2007.
