US President Joe Biden has sent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an invitation to a “meeting”, the latter’s office reports.
Earlier, Biden had already invited Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the White House, but Netanyahu’s invitation was not forthcoming due to tensions between the two governments.
“President Biden has invited the Prime Minister to meet in the United States soon. The prime minister has accepted the invitation,” Netanyahu’s office said in a press release.
It will be the first meeting between the leaders since Netanyahu returned to power late last year.
