US President Joe Biden will stay in Israel for some five hours on his visit tomorrow, Channel 12 says.
He will then head to Amman, where he will meet with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
Biden will then participate in a four-way summit hosted by Abdullah also including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
The declared goal of that conference, the TV report says, is to deal with continued humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians.
In Israel, Biden is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog and some of the families of the hostages and the missing.
