Biden to meet with Netanyahu a day after Israeli leader's fiery speech to Congress

President Biden is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House Thursday — a day after Netanyahu urged Congress in a joint address to continue to stand with Israel in the war against Hamas.
The meeting is Mr. Biden's first with a foreign leader since he exited the race for the presidency Sunday and threw his support to Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. Harris will be meeting with Netanyahu separately later Thursday, the White House said.
The vice president did not attend Netanyahu's speech, citing previously scheduled travel. She's in Texas Thursday morning, addressing the American Federation of Teachers. A number of Democrats in Congress declined to attend Netanyahu's congressional address, a gesture of disapproval toward Netanyahu's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
As Netanyahu spoke, pro-Palestine protesters swarmed Union Station near the Capitol. Protesters removed the American flags that fly over Union Station, replacing them with Palestinian flags.
