Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with Twitter boss Elon Musk after the platform was accused of amplifying antisemitism.

The Israeli prime minister is set to meet Musk next week as part of a wider visit to Silicon Valley, according to Hebrew media.

Sources in Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister plans “to hold a series of meetings with leading figures in the artificial intelligence world.” He is also visiting New York to speak at the United Nations General Assembly.

Netanyahu has met with Musk several times in recent years and consistently praised him. In March 2018, Netanyahu praised the Twitter boss as a “genius” and “a man of vision” during a conference in Israel.
