Joe Biden will meet with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. This will be Biden's first meeting with Netanyahu since his return to power. According to CNN, next Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden will discuss a range of bilateral and regional issues with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including the threat posed by Iran and a vision for a more stable, prosperous, and unified region. The report states that Netanyahu has not been invited to the White House since returning to the premiership, a move largely related to the Biden administration's opposition to the Israeli government's proposed judicial reforms. Not long ago, Netanyahu's office announced in July that he had been invited to meet Biden in the United States, but the White House refrained from confirming this invitation and did not disclose where the leaders would meet. Netanyahu stated that Israel is at the 'center' of an unprecedented project connecting Asia to Europe. Israel's Defense Minister warned ahead of Jewish holidays that they would respond 'decisively' to threats. Biden has nominated a former Treasury Secretary to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
