(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this afternoon (Monday, 13 February
2017), made the following remarks upon boarding his plane to Washington:

"I'm going to Washington to have a very important meeting with President
Trump. I'll also be meeting with Vice President Pence, with Secretary of
State Tillerson and with Republican leaders and Democratic leaders on
Capitol Hill.

The alliance between Israel and America has always been extremely strong.
It's about to get even stronger. President Trump and I see eye to eye on the
dangers emanating from the region but also on the opportunities. And we'll
talk about both, as well as upgrading the relations between Israel and the
United States in many, many fields.

Thank you very much."
