Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to Washington on Monday to deliver a politically sensitive speech before Congress amid ongoing efforts to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. The situation has been further complicated by Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, leaving uncertainty about the future American leadership.
Netanyahu's visit comes at a critical juncture, with concerns about the conflict spreading to Lebanon and Yemen. His speech, scheduled for Wednesday, will be closely watched by various stakeholders, including his ultranationalist governing partners, the Biden administration, and the Republican Party.
