Biden reschedules meeting with Netanyahu due to COVID

It's now official: The Prime Minister's Office confirmed this morning (Sunday) that Prime Minister Netanyahu's planned meeting with president Joe Biden will take place this Tuesday in the afternoon, meaning that Netanyahu will depart tomorrow morning rather than this evening as originally planned.

The meeting with Biden was delayed due to the President self-isolating after being diagnosed with covid. Netanyahu was also reported to be scheduled to meet with Vice President Harris, and he is also trying to schedule a meeting with Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu plans to give a speech before both houses of Congress on Wednesday, and the meeting with Biden is likely to discuss the contents of that speech.
