Israel is still not sure how US President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 diagnosis will affect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington next week, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The officials says that Israel expects to have conversations with US counterparts when the work day begins in Washington.
Netanyahu is slated to meet Biden on Monday afternoon, two days before the premier’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
