Embattled at Home, Netanyahu Receives Warm Welcome at Trump's White House
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to
the White House on Monday. The two leaders celebrated Trump's highly
controversial decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
and move the U.S. Embassy there. Control of Jerusalem is one of the most
contested issues between Israelis and Palestinians. Netanyahu's visit
comes as he faces a series of escalating corruption investigations back
home. A number of his closest aides have already been arrested. Later
today, Trump will hold talks and a joint news conference with Sweden's
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.
