The highly-anticipated meeting between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may not take place as Biden recovers from COVID-19, according to a source in the Prime Minister’s office.
Netanyahu, who will address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, was scheduled to meet with Biden on Tuesday but canceled because the president has still not tested negative for COVID-19, according to the source.
Biden has made no public appearances since he dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday. His doctor released a letter on Monday stating that most of his COVID-19 symptoms have “almost resolved completely” and that he is continuing to perform his presidential duties.
The meeting would’ve been the first time Biden hosted the Jewish State’s leader in the White House since Netanyahu was reelected in 2022.
