White House Seeks In-Person Meeting with Israel After Virtual Talks over Gaza Ceasefire Resolution Tensions
• White House looking to set up in-person meeting with Israel in "next week or so" after virtual meeting last week
• Meeting comes after Israel canceled initial delegation trip to U.S. over U.S. abstention from U.N. resolution on Gaza ceasefire
• Israel and U.S. subsequently held a virtual meeting, with plans now for an in-person follow up
• White House "perplexed" by Israel's decision to cancel delegation and denies U.S. policy has changed
• White House adviser Kirby says resolution was non-binding so no impact on Israel's abilities and consistent with U.S. policy goals
