Biden and Netanyahu Set to Meet in US, Easing Tensions

The White House has announced that US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will "probably" meet before the end of the year, signaling a potential improvement in their strained relationship. While the details of the meeting are still being worked out, it is expected to take place in the autumn in the United States. The lack of a formal White House invitation has previously angered Netanyahu, who has been seeking such an invitation for a long time. Tensions between the two leaders have been fueled by disagreements over judicial reforms, settlement expansions, and what Biden perceives as extremist positions taken by members of Netanyahu's government.
