Biden invites Israel’s Netanyahu to DC by the end of the year

President Biden plans to meet with Israel’s prime minister in Washington before the end of the year.  The president met with Prime Minister Netanyahu in New York this past week. But that location — a hotel instead of the White House — was widely seen in Israel as a sign of the Biden administration’s displeasure with Netanyahu’s new government. Israeli leaders are typically invited to the Oval Office within weeks of starting their tenure. Such a visit is still possible, though. On Wednesday, the president invited the prime minister to Washington by the end of the year.
