An official invitation will reportedly be sent in the coming days to Isaac Herzog, who is expected to deliver a speech in the House of Representatives
U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly invited Israel's President Isaac Herzog to Washington for a meeting at the White House next month.
According to Channel 12 News, the official invitation for Herzog will be sent out in the coming days, and he is expected to deliver a speech in the House of Representatives.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer were reportedly briefed on the planned meeting.
Herzog last met with Biden in the United States in October 2022, during which the two discussed tensions in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine.
The reported visit set for July would come amid tensions over the future of Iran's nuclear activities, with the Biden administration trying to salvage a deal that would reinstate international control over the civilian program in exchange for sanctions relief. Israel opposes such an agenda.
