Netanyahu cancels trip to the US scheduled for next week

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has cancelled a trip to the US which was scheduled for next week.

He will not travel due to the postponement of the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, his office said.

A day prior to the cancellation, a senior Israeli official said that Netanyahu wanted to meet Trump during the visit, but it was not yet clear if he would be able to, according to Reuters.

A White House official denied there were any meetings scheduled between Trump and Netanyahu, Axios reported.
