Meeting with President Trump on Israel's Security

I am on my way to Washington for a meeting with our friend, US President

Donald Trump. This is my eighth meeting with him since he was elected,

uh, president, in my second term.

More than any other international leader.

This is a great privilege,

but it is also a great responsibility.

From my experience as prime minister, we must act in these complex times

with both great determination and great wisdom.

We will discuss all the issues on the agenda, first and foremost Iran.

And of course, our goal is to safeguard our security and also to expand

the circle of peace around us.

I am embarking on this mission with one clear goal: to ensure the

security, strength, and future of our beloved State of Israel.

And I am also setting out for another purpose: to pay our last respects to

our friend, a true friend of mine and of the State of Israel, Sheldon Adelson,

one of the greatest friends of the State of Israel of all time.

And I am sure that in this matter, I also represent you, the citizens of Israel.
