President-elect Donald Trump dines with Sara Netanyahu at Florida golf course
Last week, it was reported that Netanyahu had travelled to Miami, where she was expected to remain for 20 days.
President-elect Donald Trump met with Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for dinner at Trump International Golf Course in Florida, Communications Deputy Director Margo Martin shared in a Monday post to X/Twitter.
"President @realDonaldTrump and Sara Netanyahu having dinner at Trump International Golf Course tonight," Martine wrote in the post.
In a later Instagram post, Netanyahu shared a photo of the meeting, adding that she had "raised with the president the immense suffering our country has endured since October 7 and the inhumanity of the Hamas terrorists, who are holding our abducted citizens under harsh conditions. I emphasized the urgent need to act for their [the hostages'] release and their swift return."
Sara Netanyahu had traveled to Miami last week, where she was expected to remain for 20 days. She was set to return to Israel in mid-December.
Netanyahu's son, Yair, is currently in Miami and has been living there since March 2023.
Netanyahu was expected to remain in Florida as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to testify in his criminal trials next week.

On Sunday, Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara stated there was no legal reason to declare the prime minister as unable to serve during his testimony and ruled that his testimony would start next week.
