US Secretary of State Antony Blinken officially announced on Monday night that US President Joe Biden will visit Israel on Wednesday.
Blinken made the announcement following a lengthy meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which was held at the Kirya base in Tel Aviv and lasted for approximately seven and a half hours.
“On Wednesday, President Biden will visit Israel. He’s coming here at a critical moment for Israel, for the region, and for the world,” Blinken wrote in a post on X.
In a separate post, Blinken wrote, “Today, at our request, the United States and Israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in Gaza, including the possibility of creating areas to help keep civilians out of harm’s way.”
Biden himself later wrote on X, “On Wednesday, I’ll travel to Israel to stand in solidarity in the face of Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack.”
“I’ll then travel to Jordan to address dire humanitarian needs, meet with leaders, and make clear that Hamas does not stand for Palestinians’ right to self-determination,” he added.
Biden is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders during the one-day trip.
