Biden to meet Israel's Netanyahu after months of tension
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with President Biden later this year, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Monday. Details of when and where are still under discussion, he added.
The announcement comes a day before Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to visit Washington to meet with Biden and address Congress.
It also follows months of tensions between the U.S. and Israel over Netanyahu’s far-right proposals to overhaul the country’s judicial system. Netanyahu’s supporters say liberal courts have too much power over government decisions. Opponents say the moves would endanger Israel’s system of checks and balances.
