Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has landed at Andrews military base near Washington ahead of crucial meetings with US officials, including President Donald Trump. His flight was delayed due to internal political turmoil in Israel, where ultra-Orthodox members of his coalition are demanding changes to a controversial law regulating military service for students of advanced Jewish text study academies. This coalition drama threatens Netanyahu’s plans and highlights deep divisions within Israeli society. Meetings with Secretary of State Mark Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff are scheduled before the Monday evening meeting with Trump local time. This visit comes at a time when Israel is balancing internal political challenges with foreign relations with the US, adding complexity to the situation. Will Netanyahu manage to smooth relations and maintain government stability? Time will tell. What do you think about this political soap opera?
