American and Israeli media revealed that a team from the US administration headed by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has been making preparations in Israel since Sunday for a possible visit by President Joe Biden in late June.

And the Axios news website quoted Israeli officials as saying that US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and his Israeli counterpart, Eyal Holata, discussed holding a regional meeting of regional leaders during US President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East.

He added that no deadline has been set for Biden's visit, but it is expected to take place in the last two weeks of June.

The website indicated that Biden's visit is expected to be relatively short, perhaps up to 36 hours, during which he will meet Israeli officials in occupied Jerusalem and Palestinians in Bethlehem.

Two Israeli officials told Axios that the importance of the meeting comes as an affirmation of the United States' commitment in the Middle East, at a time when it is seen that America is preparing to withdraw from the region.

According to the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, Biden is likely to add Israel a stop on his trip to Europe, either before the (Group of Seven industrialized countries) meeting in Germany between 26 and 28 June, or after the NATO summit in Spain 29-30 of the same month.

She indicated that this will be President Biden's first visit to the Middle East since taking office in January 2021.

And last week, the White House and the Israeli Prime Minister's office announced, in two separate statements, that Biden informed Naftali Bennett in a phone call that he agreed to visit Israel soon.

Bennett had previously visited the White House in August 2021, while Biden had previously visited Israel in 2010 and 2016 when he was Vice President Barack Obama.
