Netanyahu invites Biden to visit Israel

From CNN’s Kevin Liptak

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited US President Joe Biden to visit Israel soon, and the two sides are discussing the possibility, a source familiar with the matter said.

It wasn’t clear how advanced the discussions were, or when a possible trip might occur.

The White House said Sunday it didn’t have any new travel plans to announce.

If Biden were to visit, it would come after high-stakes shuttle diplomacy by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has been jetting between countries in the region for the past several days.

Elsewhere in Washington: The US Senate will receive a classified briefing Wednesday regarding the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and humanitarian situation in Gaza, according to a Senate source.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. C.Q. Brown will brief the senators.

Biden has been receiving updates on Israel and Gaza throughout the day, according to a White House official.

1. He needs to stay away from Israel right now.

Too many security issues.

[Deuxcents]

2. I certainly agree.

[Magoo48]

3. Yup

[Delphinus]

4. Amen!

There is no reason for President Biden to go anywhere near that volatile area.

7. He could certainly land on a carrier

And from there make a copter jump into and out of Israel before anyone knew he was there.

But the real question is why?

What possible benefit would it bring?

Without some major breakthrough, I don't think there is any reason to do it right now.

5. Absolutely NOT!

Security nightmare!

6. Nuttin' wants some of Joe's luster.

Joe is leading. B.N. is reacting.
