Trump to meet Israel's Netanyahu in Florida on Friday
Adds timing of meeting in paragraph one, details and background from paragraph two
WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) -Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday at his resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Netanyahu is in Washington and due to address the U.S. Congress on Wednesday and meet with President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.
"Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida," Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday.
The former U.S. president, who in public comments has urged Israel to "finish up" its war against Islamist group Hamas in Gaza, has consistently portrayed himself as a reliable ally to Israel.
During Trump's 2017-2021 White House term, the U.S. moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a long-held conservative goal that delighted Israelis and infuriated Palestinians.
Trump praised his role in the Abraham Accords, agreements signed during the Trump years that normalized bilateral relations between Israel and both Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
"During my first term, we had Peace and Stability in the Region, even signing the historic Abraham Accords - And we will have it again," Trump said in his Truth Social post.
He criticized the new presumptive Democratic 2024 presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, as being "in no way capable of stopping" world conflicts.
