[White House and Netanyahu meeting arrangements change, deepening differences between the two sides] (1) According to Axios, White House officials were surprised to find that Israeli media reported that Trump would host Netanyahu next Monday, but no meeting arrangements were actually finalized. (2) In the past, meetings were usually finalized within hours or days, but this time Netanyahu's efforts to secure the meeting for more than two weeks have failed, reflecting the differences in interests between the two sides and the White House's growing disappointment with Israel; at the beginning of this month, Trump said he could host Netanyahu immediately after the NATO summit, but no specific schedule has been confirmed. (3) On Thursday, Netanyahu's office announced the cancellation of his visit to the United States due to the postponement of the funeral of former US Senator Lindsey Graham, but White House officials said that it was never confirmed or included in the president's official schedule; in addition, Trump was "very annoyed" by Netanyahu's public criticism of the sale of F-35s to Turkey, believing that Netanyahu had no right to comment on the matter.
