Trump, Netanyahu curtail weekend trips as Middle East tensions escalate
Two prominent figures in the Middle East conflict, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, altered their travel arrangements this weekend amidst escalating tensions. The President returned to Washington from Camp David on Saturday evening, while Netanyahu's US visit saw changes to his itinerary. The State Department issued a warning for Americans abroad due to the worsening situation.
Trump later participated in a golf outing at his club in Virginia. The State Department's warning highlighted the potential for further escalation and the impact of Iranian-backed Houthi forces on Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu, originally scheduled to arrive in the US via Texas, will now fly directly to New York for his address to the UN General Assembly, leaving immediately afterwards.
