"The President is planning to sit down with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I know that the President's looking forward to doing that," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said during a daily press briefing.
Netanyahu had already announced the upcoming meeting with Trump before departing to South America earlier this week.
