Trump may visit Israel next month

US President Donald Trump could visit Israel next month ahead of his planned trip to the United Kingdom, if conditions permit, White House sources told Ynet on Thursday, Report informs.

The visit would come before Trump’s September 17–19 state visit to Britain at the invitation of King Charles.

The White House is weighing the stopover in Israel, but officials said it depends on progress in ceasefire negotiations to end the war in Gaza. “The president will visit Britain in September, and it’s possible he will stop in Israel, but it’s not certain and not finalized,” a US official said. “It depends on developments.” An Israeli official confirmed “initial feelers” for a visit but stressed “nothing concrete” had been arranged.

During his last Middle East trip earlier this year, Trump skipped Israel, visiting Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates instead. In May, he made his first diplomatic visit of his second term to the region, signing economic and arms deals worth hundreds of billions of dollars and announcing several dramatic policy moves, including lifting sanctions on Syria.

He became the first US president in 25 years to meet the country’s president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, a former jihadist.

At the time, Trump predicted Damascus would make peace with Israel once its internal situation “stabilized.” A month before Israel’s Operation Rising Lion — a 12-day war against Iran in which US forces also took part — he declared that a new nuclear deal with Iran was “very close” while warning Tehran of possible military action if it did not “choose a new path.”

US officials are now pressing for a comprehensive ceasefire agreement in Gaza, with the Trump administration viewing a partial deal as no longer relevant. According to Washington, the clock is ticking for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to show progress toward a final arrangement.
