Netanyahu Invites Biden to Israel Amid Tensions with Hamas

Israeli PM Netanyahu has invited President Biden to visit Israel soon, and both countries are discussing the possibility.

It's unclear how advanced the discussions are or when a potential trip could occur.

A Biden visit would show strong US support for Israel amid conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

The trip would send a message to others in the region not to escalate the conflict further.

A visit would follow Secretary Blinken's shuttle diplomacy in the region bearing a similar message about protecting civilians.
