The visit of the Israeli President to Washington. Is it being used as leverage for Netanyahu to make changes?
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington. The two will discuss a range of issues, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and judicial reform. The White House has not said whether it will make a formal offer to host Netanyahu in the future. A senior Israeli official says the move is a sign that the U.S.-Israeli relationship is not at its lowest ebb. The Israeli government has been accused of being too extreme in its approach to the Palestinian conflict.
