Wednesday’s announcement that U.S. President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 may force the rescheduling or cancellation of a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu reportedly set for Monday.

Netanyahu is set to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress on July 24. While neither the White House nor the Prime Minister’s Office has confirmed a Biden-Netanyahu meeting will take place, it has been reported that a sit-down was scheduled for the Oval Office on July 22.

But with Biden’s positive diagnosis on Wednesday, protocols likely won’t allow him to return to the White House by Monday. Biden has traveled to his native Delaware in the interim.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a Wednesday statement that Biden “will be self-isolating in accordance with CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidance for symptomatic individuals,” noting that the president will take a PCR test to confirm his status as he deals with “mild symptoms,” including upper respiratory difficulties.

The CDC’s COVID guidelines for those dealing with mild symptoms state that they should isolate at least five days, with day zero being when symptoms first appear.

Neither the White House nor the Prime Minister’s Office has commented on the potential impact Biden’s illness may have on his ability to meet with Netanyahu, who will be in Washington all week. JNS

  1. MSNBC says if Joe Biden recovers from covid and its treatment, it should be seen as a sign of strength, similar to Donald Trump surviving an assassination attempt. They really said this LIVE ON AIR.

  2. The CDC doesn’t say 5 days anymore. From the CDC website:
    Updated Guidance: The updated Respiratory Virus Guidance recommends that people stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both their symptoms are getting better overall, and they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Note that depending on the length of symptoms, this period could be shorter, the same, or longer than the previous guidance for COVID-19.

    • Our beloved CDC would never do anything unethical or steer us wrong. When they say that one who listens to our beloved government and takes all the recommended vaccines, they will NOT get Covid again. I can’t understand how our President contracted Covid. He is fully vaccinated. Unless you want to tell me that our President only took a saline solution shot.
