Netanyahu arrives in Washington DC on key campaign stop
Jerusalem Post, Mar 24, 2019

WASHINGTON DC. -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed in Washington DC early Sunday morning to begin a four-day visit in the midst of the election campaign.

The centerpiece of his visit will be two meetings with US President Donald Trump. The first is a working meeting scheduled for Monday and the second is a dinner Tuesday evening.

Netanyahu made clear that he will thank the US president for his historic recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and also discuss with him how to further rollback Iran’s efforts in the region and its drive to obtain nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu said before taking off that there has never been a closer relationship between a US president and an Israeli prime minister, and he asserted that this was "a very, very important asset” for Israel.

Netanyahu said before taking off that there has never been a closer relationship between a US president and an Israeli prime minister, and he asserted that this was "a very, very important asset” for Israel.

There are different categories of assets, including people who:

• Willingly work for a foreign government for ideological reasons such as being against their government, but live in a country that doesn't allow political opposition. They may elect to work with a foreign power to change their own country because there are few other ways available.
• Work for monetary gain. Intelligence services often pay good wages to people in important positions that are willing to betray secrets.
• Have been blackmailed and are forced into their role.
• Do not even know they are being used (so called "useful idiots"). Assets can be loyal to their country, but may still provide a foreign agent with information through failures in information safety, such as using insecure computers or not following proper OPSEC procedures during day-to-day chatting.
