Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's first meeting with US President Joe Biden in Washington is unlikely to take place this month as planned; a source close to the prime minister said on Tuesday.
Though Bennett had aimed to visit the White House before German Chancellor Angela Merkel's trip to Israel on August 28-30, Jerusalem and Washington are now working to find a date after that.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met with incoming Israeli National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata in Washington on Monday. Bennett's Diplomatic Adviser Shimrit Meir was in Washington as well.
According to the White House readout of the conversation, “Sullivan congratulated Dr. Hulata on his new role and emphasized that he looks forward to working together to strengthen all aspects of the US-Israel partnership.”
