YO YO guess who is in DC LOL! Netanyahu set to meet with US leaders in Washington Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington DC on Monday evening, ahead of planned meetings with US leaders and a speech in Congress. Netanyahu was meant to meet with US President Joe Biden on Tuesday, but this was delayed until Thursday as the president has been recovering from COVID-19. Following Biden's announcement that he would no longer run for a second term as president, the White House said that Vice President Kamala Harris — now the leading candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for November's election — would meet separately with the Israeli leader. Netanyahu is also set to speak to both houses of Congress on Wednesday, thanks to an invite from the leaders of the houses, with the Republican House speaker Mike Johnson particularly keen to show his support for Israel. www.dw.com/en/middle-east-updates-netanyahu-in-washington-for-meetings/live-69738738

This is be good news if he announced in front on Congress just SHUT UP the Squad Netanyahu hints hostage deal is on the horizon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told families of hostages being held in Gaza that a deal for their release could be approaching, his office said on Tuesday. "The conditions are undoubtedly ripening. This is a good sign," he said on Monday after arriving in Washington. A ceasefire deal, which would secure the release of Israeli hostages as well as Palestinian prisoners, was outlined by Biden in May. Progress on such a deal has been slow, but US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Friday that negotiators were "driving toward the goal line." Netanyahu is in Washington to meet with US leaders. The White House has been pressuring Netanyahu to strike a deal, as have families of those being held hostage in Gaza who want to see their loved ones return home. www.dw.com/en/middle-east-updates-netanyahu-in-washington-for-meetings/live-69738738
