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.
