Biden, Israeli president meet at White House

U.S. President Joe Biden met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House in Washington on Tuesday.

Biden stressed the need to take additional measures to improve the security and economic situation in the West Bank and prevent acts of terrorism, according to a White House statement.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a resolution to reaffirm the U.S. ally is not a "racist state" and to condemn antisemitism.

Biden had phone talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, and "expressed concern about continued settlement growth and called on all parties to refrain from further unilateral measures."

According to Netanyahu's office, Biden invited Netanyahu to "meet soon" in the United States.

"The Prime Minister accepted the invitation and it was agreed that Israeli and American teams will coordinate the details of the meeting."
