Washington, DC – US President Joe Biden has begun a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a day after thousands of people protested against the Israeli leader’s visit to the United States capital amid the Gaza war.

US Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee in November’s election, is also expected to hold talks with Netanyahu on Thursday.

The Biden administration has continued to provide unwavering support to Israel amid the conflict in Gaza, authorising billions of dollars in military aid and providing Israel with key diplomatic backing.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Netanyahu said he “looked forward” to working with Biden during the remainder of his term.

“I look forward to it as well,” Biden responded.

    Netanyahu is visiting this week, now would be her time to magically find a spine.

    Her track record so far is not looking good.

      Magically find a spine? She called for a ceasefire long before Biden during a time when his press secretary wasn’t allowed to speak that way. Kamala may not pull funding the way we’d like her to, but all evidence points to her being less forgiving of zionist warcrimes than Biden. Weighing the options and alternative realities, this timeline became much brighter the moment Biden dropped and endorsed her.

        What does “less forgiving” even mean here, better rhetoric? Words and shaming haven’t and won’t stop Israel’s genocide.

        Unless she puts an actual stop to the funding and weapons or helps enforce the ICJ/UN rulings on Israel there isn’t going to be a material change to the genocide.

        kamela’s ceasefire call was the most yesyesyesno moment of 2024. Guess you never saw the actual video of her backtracking it.
