Will Harris meet with Netanyahu?

The Israeli prime minister is set to depart for Washington, DC, later today and will be delivering a speech to Congress on Wednesday. He is also expected to hold talks with Biden at the White House, though the timing of that meeting is unclear as the US president is recovering from COVID-19.

The White House said last week that Harris will also be meeting with Netanyahu while the Israeli leader is in Washington, DC.

With large parts of the Democratic base – including young people, progressives, and Arab and Muslim Americans – angry with Biden over his support for Israel, interactions between Harris and Netanyahu will likely come under scrutiny.

  • Harris, who as vice president is the ceremonial president of the Senate, is set to speak at an event in Indianapolis on Wednesday when Netanyahu addresses Congress.
