WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a White House visit on Monday to extend a formal apology to his Qatari counterpart for a recent military strike targeting Hamas officials in the Gulf emirate that infuriated Arab leaders and triggered rare criticism by the U.S. of Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly meets with West Bank settlement leaders on Sunday night ahead of his Monday meeting with US President Donald Trump, and says he will raise the issue of Israel applying sovereignty to the West Bank.

The protesters have been critical of Netanyahu for not yet securing the return of the remaining Israeli hostages.
