Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet US President Donald Trump on Thursday on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland.
US national security adviser H.R. McMaster affirmed that Trump will meet on his first day in Switzerland with Netanyahu.
In the meeting which will take place on Thursday Trump plans “to reiterate Americas strong commitment to Israel and efforts to reduced Iran’s influence and abilities and ways to achieve lasting peace” McMaster said in a press briefing.
Minutes later the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the meeting.
It will be the fourth meeting between the two men since Trump took office last year.
They last spoke face-to-face in September on the sidelines of the opening session of the UN General Assembly.
In addition to Trump Netanyahu will also be meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Speaking ahead of his departure Netanyahu said he would tell world leaders that time is running out to alter the Iran nuclear deal which Trump has vowed he will rip up if not changed.
