President Donald Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week, hosting him for a two-day visit as the Israeli leader faces trouble at home and Trump tries to push a wedge among Democrats.
The two leaders 'will discuss their countries' shared interests and actions in the Middle East during a working meeting on March 25,' White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement Wednesday.
Trump also will host Netanyahu for dinner on the following evening.
The gesture is just the latest time Trump has embraced Netanyahu politically, even as he faces potential prosecution at home. Last month, Israel's attorney general said he planned to indict Netanyahu for bribery and fraud.

Various lawmakers accused Omar, who is Islamic, of promoting old 'tropes' and raising unacceptable 'dual loyalty' charges through her remarks. In one comment, she tweeted that lawmakers' support for Israel was 'all about the Benjamins.' She later apologized,
Then Omar, 37, sparked controversy after saying that she wanted to discuss 'the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country' at an event in Washington.

Trump was under fire last week after the massacre in New Zealand. The president called the attack 'horrible' and expressed sympathy, but did not condemn white supremacy acknowledge the shooter's own expression of support for Trump or comments railing against an immigrant 'invasion.'
Netanyahu, who has the ability to speak eloquently in English before U.S. crowds, has sparked controversy through his visits before, as when he accepted a House GOP invitation to address Congress in 2015 without consulting President Barack Obama.

The two leaders ‘will discuss their countries’ ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
