New reports raise the possibility that US President-elect Donald Trump is working to hold a trilateral summit meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the President of Lebanon on May 11 at the White House.
ynet news report that this is an American initiative to bring the sides together, a report supported by a publication from 301 News Arab World. On channel 301, which presents a critical position towards the political echelons in Israel and Gaza, they questioned whether "Lebanese President Aoun and Prime Minister Netanyahu will meet on May 11 at the White House" and noted that "this is Trump's plan" according to 301 News.
