Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to the United States on Saturday, a senior Israeli official told Reuters yesterday.
Netanyahu wants to meet US President Donald Trump, but it is not clear if he will, the official added.
Netanyahu vowed on Tuesday to strike powerfully against Iran if it staged a new attack on his country.
“I will say it to the leaders of Iran: Do not count on things remaining quiet if you attack us,” Netanyahu said at a conference in Dimona.
“The days are over when someone strikes us and we don’t hit back with a decisive blow,” Netanyahu added.
He said the strikes would be more powerful than the ones carried out jointly with key ally the United States earlier this year.
