President Biden Welcomes Israeli President Isaac Herzog To The White House
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 18: Israeli President Isaac Herzog speaks to the media following an Oval Office meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House on July 18, 2023 in Washington, DC. Herzog is on a multiday visit to the United States where he is set to meet President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, and Congressional leaders as well as address a joint meeting of Congress to reaffirm the US-Israel relationship.
Herzog is the top opposition figure in the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has tried to institute highly unpopular reforms that would curb the power of the generally liberal judiciary branch., with younger militants taking advantage of the Palestinian Authority's eroding credibility among a stateless and impoverished people.
Herzog met with President Biden on Tuesday. On Wednesday he will give an address to a joint session of Congress. His appearance on Capitol Hill is proving especially divisive, revealing the widening gulf among Democrats.
