Netanyahu is expected at the White House on Monday for talks with US President Donald Trump, who is pushing to end the 21-month war between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas.
“In his visit to Washington, the prime minister carries with him an important mission -- advancing a deal to bring all our hostages home,“ President Isaac Herzog said in a statement.
