Iran Press/ America: US President, Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris held a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Thursday afternoon. According to media sources, the White House strongly urged Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire, with US officials believing that a potential deal was imminent.
Biden’s in-person meeting with Netanyahu followed the Israeli prime minister’s speech to Congress on Wednesday, which sparked protests including instances of antisemitism or pro-Hamas rhetoric in Washington, DC, although the White House has condemned such demonstrations.
