President Biden will meet with Middle Eastern leaders during a four-day trip to the region in July that includes stops in Israel, the West Bank, and Saudi Arabia.
"President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will visit the Middle East region from July 13-16 to reinforce the United States’ iron-clad commitment to Israel’s security and prosperity and attend a Summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council plus Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan (known as the GCC+3)," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. "He will also meet with counterparts from across the region, to advance U.S. security, economic, and diplomatic interests."
A senior administration official said that the first stop will be Israel, where Biden is planning to visit an area that utilizes defense systems like the Iron Dome, which intercepts rockets fired from Palestinian territories. The official noted that the Biden administration is working with Congress to provide $1 billion for the Iron Dome.
