Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the United States to meet with Donald Trump before the end of the election campaign in Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in full election campaign in his country, arrived in the United States on Sunday, where he will be presented in the coming days with his great ally, President Donald Trump.

According to the Israeli Foreign Minister, Trump will sign a decree on Monday recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights when he meets Netanyahu in Washington.

"President Trump will sign tomorrow, in the presence of Prime Minister Netanyahu, a decree recognizing the sovereignty of Israel over the Golan Heights", the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote on Twitter Sunday, Israel Katz, in reference to the Syrian territory conquered by Israel during the Six Day War of 1967.

Shortly before this announcement, the Israeli prime minister lost ground in the polls against his main rival, General Benny Gantz.

And some observers suggest that The Trump announcement aims to boost the election campaign of Netanyahu, in power for a decade.

The president of the United States is already very present in the campaign of the Israeli legislative elections of April 9th. in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, there are giant posters with an image of the two men shaking hands.

Netanyahu, which is being investigated by corruption, breach of trust and fraud in three different casesHe also echoed Trump's statements in his election videos, describing the prime minister as "tough, smart, and strong."

Netanyahu, who claims to be the the only one able to achieve diplomatic successes such as Trump's recognition, he praised himself for a "historic" event and published a photo of his phone interview with him.

For its part, the US president said his initiative had nothing to do with the Israeli elections nor with possible support for Netanyahu.

The secretary of state said the same thing Mike Pompeo during his visit to Jerusalem Wednesday and ThursdayDuring which he became the first US leader of this level to visit, along with an Israeli prime minister, the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the most sacred place of the Jews.

Until now, US officials had avoided this visit for not taking sides in the complex issue of the sovereignty of Jerusalem.

Some badysts are now asking if Netanyahu will receive other "gifts" from the United States during his visit.

Trump will receive Netanyahu not one but twice at the White House, Monday for a "working meeting" and Tuesday for a dinner.

Since taking office in January 2017, Trump multiplies his actions in favor of Israel, especially with the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December 2017 and its transfer in May 2018 to the holy city of the American Embbady, ​​until there in Tel Aviv.

Trump also has in the honor the Christian evangelists of the United Stateswho are an important part of their electorate.

In parallel, Netanyahu does not spare praise for what he regards as "his friend".

Trump "is very sensitive to personal relationships and" Bibi "(Netanyahu's nickname) has spoiled him a lot"says Jonathan Rynhold, professor of political science.

The former ambbadador of Israel to the United States Michael Oren, now Deputy Minister for Diplomacy, said Netanyahu and Trump "share the same contempt for the politically correct".

In Washington, Netanyahu may also claim another diplomatic victory: Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dancila promised on Sunday that her country would also move its Israeli embbady from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem., a transfer that would run counter to the European position and which also runs up against that of the Romanian President.
