Trump may visit Israel, says White House

Ammon News - White House sources say that if the conditions are right, US President Donald Trump may visit Israel next month, before his planned visit to the United Kingdom. "The president is going to visit Britain in September, and it's possible he'll stop in Israel, but it's not certain and not yet certain," an American source told Ynet newspaper, noting: "It depends on developments, of course." An Israeli source confirmed his words, saying, "There are indeed speculations about a Trump visit, but there's nothing concrete yet. It's something that's up in the air." Trump is expected to visit Britain at the invitation of King Charles on September 17-19. The White House is currently exploring the possibility of the president visiting Israel before then – but that depends on developments in talks on a ceasefire and an end to the war in Gaza. Trump would like to visit Israel if the negotiations are successful.
