President TRUMP is also visiting the Palestinian territories, after completing a visit to Saudi Arabia.
President TRUMP is scheduled to hold talks with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders during the course of his two-day stop.
Ahead of the talks, TRUMP said an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement is the ultimate deal, but was vague about what form it should take.
Speaking at a summit in Riyadh on Sunday, President TRUMP called on Arab and Muslim leaders to take the lead in combating Islamist militants.
TRUMP singled out Iran, which is Saudi Arabia and Israel’s main foe, saying it had fuelled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror in the region for decades.
But that has prompted a twitter reaction from Iran’s Foreign Minister MOHAMMAD JAVAD ZARIF, who suggested that the US was milking Saudi Arabia for billions of dollars in newly-signed arms deals.
