(JNS) The White House confirmed that U.S. President Joe Biden will travel to Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Saudi Arabia between July 13 and July 16.
The trip will “reinforce the United States’ iron-clad commitment to Israel’s security and prosperity” and see Biden “attend a Summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC] plus Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan,” according to a statement released by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
He will head to Israel first, where he will meet with Israeli leaders to discuss Israel’s “security, prosperity and its increasing integration into the greater region,” it continued.
The GCC comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.
From there, Biden will travel to Judea and Samaria to consult with the P.A. leadership and “reiterate his strong support for a two-state solution, with equal measures of security, freedom and opportunity for the Palestinian people,” according to the White House.
