Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will leave at the end of today's noon cabinet meeting (Sunday) for London, where he will meet with British Prime Minister Theresa May.
This is the first meeting between the two since May entered the job seven months ago, when she replaced David Cameron following the Brexit referendum.
Netanyahu scheduled the meeting with May on short notice - in part because she recently met with US President Donald Trump.
The Prime Minister will seek during the visit to determine Washington's intentions - and apparently also to establish a political axis in whose existence the British are very interested - between the US, Israel, and Britain.
Their meeting will cover the Iran issue that is deeply troubling to the British, and of course the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - and the United Kingdom's position in it.
The United Kingdom was one of the leading nations in the UN Security Council anti-Israel resolution, and Israel has not forgotten it. On the other hand, the British are the only ones who refrained from signing the Paris Conference conclusions - thus actually preventing them from becoming tools in the Palestinian's hands.
Recently the British government has expressed increasing criticism toward former President Obama's attitude toward Israel and the blatant attempts, as defined by one of May's spokesmen, "to intervene in the democratic government of an ally."
