Netanyahu to meet Biden on Tuesday

Tel Aviv [Israel], July 22: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Joe Biden on Tuesday afternoon, the Israeli leader's office said on Sunday.
Netanyahu is expected to depart for the United States on Monday, his office announced. Biden and Netanyahu last met in person in Tel Aviv shortly after the attack by the Palestinian organization Hamas on October 7.
According to media reports, the discussion is expected to focus primarily on efforts to secure a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict and the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
In Israel, there has been criticism of Netanyahu's overseas trip. Protesters demanded that he should only leave the country after an agreement on the hostages' release has been reached. On Wednesday, Netanyahu is to address both chambers of the US Congress regarding Israel's military actions in the Gaza. (DPA)
