“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed today for Washington to meet with U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Netnayahu will also give a long-awaited speech to the U.S. Congress on Wednesday, July 24.

He is also expected to meet with the Republican party nominee Donald Trump, per yet unconfirmed information.

“I am leaving this for a very important trip to the United States at a time when Israel is fighting on seven fronts and when there is great political uncertainty in Washington,” said Netanyahu.

“I will seek to anchor the bipartisan support that is so important for Israel. And I will tell my friends on both sides of the aisle that regardless of who the American people choose as their next president, Israel remains its most indispensable and strongest ally in the Middle East.”

This marks Netnayhu’s first flight on the principal government transport aircraft, Wing of Zion.
