Biden and Harris to have separate conversations with Netanyahu

US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will reportedly have separate meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday regarding a potential ceasefire in Gaza.

Biden’s meeting with Netanyahu - set to take place at 1pm local time at the White House - will be the first face-to-face talk since Biden travelled to Israel days after 7 October to pledge American support.

The meeting with Harris, who was the first top US official to call for a ceasefire, will be closely watched for signs of how she could shift US policy towards Israel if she becomes president.
