Trump arrives in Israel

Donald Trump arrived in Israel on Monday on a flight from Saudi Arabia and will separately meet Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, in an attempt to revive peace talks.

Air Force One landed at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport after what is believed to be the first direct flight to Israel from Riyadh, where Trump spent two days.

The US president's nine-day trip through the Middle East and Europe, his first foreign tour since taking office in January, ends on Saturday after visits to the Vatican Brussels and Sicily.
