Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to extend his stay in the U.S. to meet with Vice President J.D. Vance. Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer traveled to the U.S. overnight to join the meeting that may be scheduled for Tuesday.
Upon the Israeli prime minister’s arrival in Washington, D.C., a group of local protesters greeted Netanyahu’s motorcade outside Blair House, the official White House guest house. They called for the release of the hostages and an end to the war, and demanded that Trump apply pressure on these issues. The demonstration was initiated by the Israeli protest organization UnXeptable, and about 50 people attended, including rabbis and public figures from the local community. “Netanyahu is a danger to the hostages and a danger to Israel,” they said.
