The US president is also pushing for Israel to agree to a peace deal with Saudi Arabia.
US president Joe Biden extended an olive branch by formally inviting Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington.
Keen to get Netanyahu to agree on a mega-deal that would normalise ties between feuding US allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, Biden focused on Wednesday on rapprochement instead of reproach. The US president extended an olive branch by formally inviting Netanyahu to Washington by the end of the year – having snubbed him this time by meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Ties with Washington have meanwhile been further strained by the Israeli government’s expansion of Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. The US and Israeli leaders also agreed on a united front against their shared foe Iran, ensuring that Tehran “never acquires a nuclear weapon,” and to counter Iranian “proxies” in the region, the White House said.
