Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will fly to Washington this week to meet with US President Donald Trump on Iran, his office announces.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, as the US and Iran appear set for a second round of nuclear talks.
“The Prime Minister believes that any negotiations must include restrictions on ballistic missiles and an end to support for the Iranian axis,” says the Prime Minister’s Office, indicating concerns about the progress of the US-Iran talks thus far.
The US and Iran held a first day of talks in Oman on Friday. The talks focused on Iran’s nuclear program, and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said later it would not give up its right to enrich uranium. Iran’s ballistic missile production was not discussed, sources said.
Netanyahu was originally scheduled to be in Washington from February 18-22, but the meeting was moved a week earlier at the premier’s request, a White House Official tells Axios.
The Prime Minister’s Office does not immediately respond to a request for comment on that report.
