Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is heading to the US to meet with President Donald Trump to discuss the "Deal of the Century."
US President Donald Trump’s peace plan will advance Israel’s interests, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said before boarding a plane to Washington D.C. on Sunday to meet with the American president.
“I am going to Washington to face an American president that is bringing forward a plan that I believe will advance our most vital interests,” Netanyahu said.
“During the last three years I spoke countless times with Trump — who is a great friend of Israel — and his team,” Netanyahu said.

During those conversations he discussed Israel vital interests, its security and that issue of justice, Netanyahu said.

He recalled the time he had traveled to the US under very different circumstances, to hold a speech in Congress to argued against former US President Barack Obama’s Iran deal. It was a plan that he felt endangered Israel’s very existence.
The circumstances have now changed when it comes to Israel’s future, Netanyahu said.
“I am meeting with President Trump tomorrow, and on Tuesday, together with him, we will make history,” he stated.
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman joined Netanyahu on his flight.
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz will also have a one-on-one meeting with Trump on Monday, and he left for Washington D.C. earlier Sunday, on a commercial flight with a stopover in Zurich.
An invitation had originally been extended to Netanyahu and Gantz to meet together with the US president, but Gantz and his advisers opposed the idea for political reasons.
The Blue and White leader said on Saturday night that he had now accepted an invitation to meet with Trump alone.
The long-delayed Trump peace plan, expected to be extremely generous to Israel, was drawn up by the US president’s former special envoy Jason Greenblatt, Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
Some of the expected details of the plan, according to KAN, are that Israel would maintain control of the Holy basin, which includes the Western Wall, while some of the Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem would be part of a future Palestinian state.
Israel will be able to annex 30% of the West Bank, including all the settlements in Area C and the entire Jordan Valley, according to Kan. However, Israel will have to evacuate illegal outposts, and give the Palestinians land in exchanged for the annexed areas.
A demilitarized Palestinian state would be formed on the other 70% of the land. Gaza would also have to be demilitarized.
Israel will also have freedom of military action in the Palestinian state.
