US Vice President Kamala Harris and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
Washington: An important meeting is going to take place between US Vice President Kamala Harris and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the Gaza war. During this time, there is speculation about a big announcement regarding the end of the Gaza war. An aide to Harris said that Harris will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House this week and tell him that the time has come to end the war. However, she will not be able to preside over the joint session of the US Congress to be addressed by Netanyahu.
An aide to Harris, the likely presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, told PTI, “The Vice President is meeting Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House this week. This meeting will be separate from the meeting planned by President Biden. The Vice President is going to Indianapolis on July 24 for a pre-scheduled program and she will not be able to attend Prime Minister Netanyahu’s pre-scheduled address to the joint session of Congress.” Harris’s aide said, “It is expected that the Vice President will tell Netanyahu that the time has come to end the war in such a way that Israel is safe, all hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza ends and the people of Palestine can enjoy their right to dignity, freedom and self-determination.”
Netanyahu will address the US Congress today
Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of the US Congress today. This is Netanyahu’s fourth address to the US Parliament, which will be the most number of times any foreign leader has addressed the US Congress. The joint session of the US Parliament is usually presided over by the Vice President. US Congress Speaker Mike Johnson has criticized Harris for not attending this address. According to ‘The New York Times’, in her first week as a potential presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, Harris will face the most politically divisive issue in US foreign policy in view of the official visit of the Israeli Prime Minister to Washington.
