Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu made his long-awaited White House visit to meet with 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, his first since before Donald Trump left office in 2020, comes at a time of growing pressure on all three to find an endgame to the nine-month war that has left more than 39,000 dead in Gaza.
