Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to make a long-awaited White House visit to meet President Joe Biden and likely Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, at an important moment for all three politicians.

Mr Netanyahu’s White House visit on Thursday, his first since before Donald Trump left office in 2020, comes at a time of growing pressure on all three to find an end game to the nine-month war that has left more than 39,000 dead in Gaza.
