Biden and Netanyahu are expected to meet later this month in Washington, source says
SUMMARY
President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to meet in Washington, DC, when Netanyahu addresses Congress on July 24th. Although logistical details are still being finalized, the meeting is likely to occur at the White House. The visit comes amid tensions over the stalled ceasefire and hostage deal in the Israel-Hamas war. Biden has voiced his increasing frustration with Israel's conduct in the conflict, particularly regarding civilian protections. The leaders have maintained regular communication since Hamas' October 7 attacks, with Biden criticizing Netanyahu's handling of the war and refuting claims of the US withholding weapons from Israel.
