Joe Biden
The meeting, Netanyahu’s first White House visit since he was re-elected in November 2022, comes the day after the Israeli prime minister addressed a joint session of Congress.
The two leaders will look to fill “final gaps” between the sides, according to administration officials.
The president and prime minister will discuss a ceasefire, hostage deal and the threat from Iran, per the White House.
The Cabinet minister endorses Trump for president.
The Israeli premier is expected to present a “new way” of dealing with the threat of Iran’s axis of evil.
There was absolutely no way to predict that by the time the Israeli premier arrived in Washington, Biden would no longer be the Democratic candidate, or that Republican candidate Donald Trump would have just survived an assassination attempt.
The meeting with Biden will likely be attended by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to State Dept. spokesman Matthew Miller.
In a call to a Kamala Harris campaign event, the U.S. president says he thinks “we’re on the verge” of getting all the captives home.
Her aide said that she had a previously scheduled appointment and that it doesn’t reflect a change in her position toward Israel.
The big questions: Will he meet Trump and how to discuss Iran without getting mired in the U.S. election campaign.
“This will be an opportunity to thank [Biden] for the things he did for Israel in the war and during his long and distinguished career in public service,” said the Israeli premier.
The Israeli prime minister is also expected to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris, who Biden endorsed to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket.
