Tomorrow morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will leave for the United States on an important official visit, during which he will address Congress and meet with President Joe Biden. Today, Netanyahu will hold a key meeting with the negotiating team to discuss critical issues related to the Philadelphia Corridor, Rafah and northern Gaza. This is reported by “Israel Hayom” and Ynet, citing informed sources.

Of particular note is the fact that Netanyahu will fly on Israel’s newest Air Force One, known as the “Wing of Zion.” This aircraft will make its first official flight, which is a significant event in itself. Netanyahu will speak at the Congress for the fourth time, which is a record for a foreign leader. His speech is scheduled for Wednesday, but it is already known that at least 10 lawmakers are planning to boycott the speech. In addition, protests are expected on Capitol Hill throughout the visit.

Relatives of abducted Israelis and dead IDF soldiers will go to the USA with the Prime Minister. These people will be presented to Netanyahu by members of Congress, despite the protests of the Headquarters of the families of the hostages, who express their displeasure with this visit.

The meeting with Biden is scheduled for Tuesday at 12:00 local time, after the US president completes a five-day quarantine caused by the disease of COVID-19. Israel is currently awaiting final confirmation of this meeting from the US, which will depend on the results of Biden’s medical tests.

This visit of Netanyahu to the USA promises to be one of the most significant and discussed events in international politics, given the importance of the discussed issues and wide public resonance. This is reported by Time Ukraine Israel, referring to the Israelinfo source.
