US Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli premier is in Washington next week, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby tells reporters in a briefing.
A second US official tells The Times of Israel Harris and Netanyahu will meet separately from the Oval Office sit-down that US President Joe Biden will have with the prime minister.
A third White House official says, “We anticipate the Vice President will have an opportunity to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu while he is in Washington.”
The Harris-Netanyahu meeting could carry more significance amid intensifying pressure for Biden to step out of the presidential race.
