“We completed a process of formulating a policy… about the Iranian issue in all dimensions,” Bennett says. To limit such chances, members of Bennett’s delegation will remain together for the entire trip and will not leave their hotel except for official meetings, according to the Walla news site.Īsked about the trip at a press conference, Bennett says he still plans to meet Biden later this month, “pending the coronavirus situation.” He adds that his meeting with Biden would be an important one, focusing primarily on the issue of Iran. Just weeks ago, the prime minister urged Israelis to refrain from travel abroad in order to prevent the import of new COVID-19 variants. The White House visit is planned for next Thursday and Bennett’s visit is not expected to last more than 48 hours due to COVID precautions, sources say. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will fly to Washington next week where he is scheduled to meet with US President Joe Biden for the first time, sources in the Prime Minister’s Office confirm to The Times of Israel.

I understand this is a beautiful site that is within walking distance.” The park, he adds, is “a remarkable and extremely valuable piece of real estate. “It has to be used for the benefit of all the victims collectively,” Hanzman says. At least one bidder has offered up to $120 million for the property. That nearly 2-acre location in Surfside, he says, must be sold to compensate victims of the tragedy. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman says at a remote hearing that it is unrealistic to pursue any plan for a memorial where the 12-story condo once stood as some family members wish.
