Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed during a phone call to meet in the United States in the "near future," the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said.
In a statement, Netanyahu's office said the Israeli premier congratulated Trump ahead of U.S. Independence Day, which marks the country's 250th anniversary on Saturday.
During the call, Netanyahu also told Trump that the U.S. "is the guarantor of global freedom" and that Israel greatly values the close ties between the two countries, according to the statement.
The two leaders agreed to hold a meeting in the U.S. in the near future, though no date has yet been set, Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported.
Kan reported that the meeting is expected to take place at the White House.
The broadcaster also reported that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is expected to visit Washington around the same time.
According to the report, Trump is seeking to bring together Netanyahu and Aoun, despite previous reports that the Lebanese president had opposed direct phone contact with the Israeli premier.
The planned meeting comes amid strains between Washington and Tel Aviv over last month's U.S.-Iran framework peace agreement, which has reportedly unsettled the Israeli government.
Trump had previously criticized Netanyahu, particularly over his stance on Lebanon.
Media reports have also pointed to growing tensions in relations between the two leaders.
