When Israel's prime minister visited the White House on Friday, for the first time in 12 years it was someone other than Benjamin Netanyahu. The meeting had originally been scheduled for a day earlier but was postponed in the wake of the attack in Kabul.
That alone lent the talks a sense of renewal, even though stark differences remain between President Joe Biden and his new Israeli counterpart Naftali Bennett.
Some White House officials believed Netanyahu would resume his adversarial stance with Biden. The view was cemented when Israel began curtailing intelligence sharing this spring, according to The New York Times.With Bennett now in power, Biden aides believe a reset is at hand. Already, CIA Director William Burns has traveled to Israel, a signal the intelligence relationship is being restored. While in Washington, Bennett was also meeting with the secretaries of state and defense.
