A meeting between the Democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Netanyahu is also planned for today. On Friday, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to receive Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Netanyahu's visit to the USA for a speech in the US Congress on Wednesday coincides with the political turmoil in the United States following Biden's withdrawal from the election campaign.
The relationship between the US president and Israel's head of government has been tense for some time - the mood has deteriorated further due to the actions of the Israeli leadership under Netanyahu in the Gaza war.
