Netanyahu departs for “very important trip”

“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed today for Washington to meet with U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Netanyahu called the visit a "very important trip" that comes at a time of "great political uncertainty", referring to US President Joe Biden's decision not to seek re-election and as Washington pushes “Israel” to seek a ceasefire deal with Hamas in Gaza.

“I will seek to anchor the bipartisan support that is so important for Israel. And I will tell my friends on both sides of the aisle that regardless of who the American people choose as their next president, Israel remains its most indispensable and strongest ally in the Middle East,” Netanyahu said.

Netnayahu will also give a long-awaited speech to the U.S. Congress on Wednesday, July 24.

He is also expected to meet with the Republican party nominee Donald Trump, per yet unconfirmed information.

This marks Netnayhu’s first flight on the principal government transport aircraft, Wing of Zion.
