Thursday, 26 August 2021 (YJC)_ Prime Minister’s meeting with US President was postponed in light of the suicide bombings in Afghanistan.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's meeting with US President Joe Biden was postponed indefinitely on Thursday, in light of the suicide bombings in Afghanistan.
The bombing took place an hour before the leaders were set to meet for the first time in the White House.
The Israeli delegation said the meeting is not canceled, but would likely take place hours late.
Bennett's visit to Washington was finalized days after the Afghanistan pullout crisis already began, and his staff and Biden administration officials said the timing was important due to developments on the Iranian nuclear front.
However, the crisis in Kabul overshadowed the trip from its start on Tuesday.
