White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki issues an official invitation to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
Psaki says Biden will arrive at the White House next Thursday to “strengthen the enduring partnership between the United States and Israel.”
The two leaders will “discuss critical issues related to regional and global security, including Iran,” Psaki says. “The visit will also be an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss efforts to advance peace, security, and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians and the importance of working towards a more peaceful and secure future for the region.”
