Netanyahu is slated to meet President
Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other key officials, and will deliver a speech to Congress on Wednesday regarding the Gaza war.
While Netanyahu's team is seeking a face-to-face with Trump, the former president remains undecided.
Previously, Trump criticized Netanyahu over his handling of Gaza and Israeli intelligence failures during the October 7 Hamas attack.
Amidst the conflict, the Biden administration has supported Netanyahu but paused a shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel in May, prompting Netanyahu's public criticism.
