WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump’s month-long review of US policy on Middle East peace will come to a head on Wednesday in the Oval Office, where he will host Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in person for the first time.

The meeting is a political test for Netanyahu, who arrived in Washington on Tuesday hoping to jump-start relations with a new president amenable to his politics after enduring eight fractious years of tension with his predecessor, Barack Obama.
