Netanyahu invites Biden to visit Israel [View all]
From CNN’s Kevin Liptak
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited US President Joe Biden to visit Israel soon, and the two sides are discussing the possibility, a source familiar with the matter said.
It wasn’t clear how advanced the discussions were, or when a possible trip might occur.
The White House said Sunday it didn’t have any new travel plans to announce.
If Biden were to visit, it would come after high-stakes shuttle diplomacy by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has been jetting between countries in the region for the past several days.
Elsewhere in Washington: The US Senate will receive a classified briefing Wednesday regarding the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and humanitarian situation in Gaza, according to a Senate source.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. C.Q. Brown will brief the senators.
Biden has been receiving updates on Israel and Gaza throughout the day, according to a White House official.
