Prime Minister Netanyahu's official visit to the White House

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on an official visit to Washington for a meeting with US President Donald Trump, his second visit since Trump took office in January.
The meeting is expected to focus on several key issues, including the situation in Gaza, Iran's nuclear program, trade tariffs, relations with Turkey, the return of Israeli hostages and the stance on the International Criminal Court.
The meeting was scheduled unexpectedly, surprising not only Israeli officials but also some representatives of the US administration.
This is the first meeting of a foreign leader seeking to renegotiate trade agreements following the Trump administration's decision to impose global tariffs, which have sent shockwaves through financial markets.
In the past week alone, these developments have caused losses of $5 trillion in the S&P index, through a record decline in stocks.
Despite Israel's efforts to minimize the impact of the tariffs, including the preliminary removal of duties on American goods, the Trump administration has continued with the new measures, highlighting the trade deficit with Israel.
The US is Israel's largest trading partner and closest strategic ally, with 98% of American goods imported duty-free, based on a free trade agreement signed four decades ago.
An Israeli official has expressed concern that the new tariffs could negatively impact the export sectors of medical machinery and equipment.
