US National Security Advisor John Bolton landed in Israel on Saturday and is expected to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday during a special summit meeting in which regional security concerns will be discussed.

The meeting will also include Russian Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev and high-ranking Israeli security officials. Making it a summit in which Israel will present its views, and listen to, both Russia and the US.

On Friday it was reported that the US was on the verge of an air-strike against a range of Iranian targets, yet Trump decided to avoid such an operation.

The US decision was in the aftermath of Iran downing a US drone in what the Islamic Republic considers its own airspace and the US considers international airspace.
