Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to receive a formal White House invitation during U.S. President Joe Biden’s term. But now, Israeli President Isaac Herzog—slated to be in Washington to address a joint session of Congress—has been invited twice to the White House.
On July 18, Biden “looks forward to welcoming Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the White House,” Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, announced on July 13. She noted that the visit, amid Israel’s 75th anniversary, “will highlight our enduring partnership and friendship.”
