i24 News – United States President Joe Biden is said to be weighing a visit to east Jerusalem during his upcoming trip to Israel, according to Israeli officials cited in a media report.
The report, which was first published by Israel’s Kan broadcaster, explained that the proposal was raised during preparation meetings ahead of the US leader’s trip.
Biden will also reportedly not be accompanied by any Israeli officials during the possible excursion to east Jerusalem.
Tensions in the area remain high following weeks of holy site clashes between Palestinians and Israel Police on the Har Habayis.
Israel is also bolstering its security efforts to counter terrorism around the country after a number of fatal attacks.
Additionally, news of the commander-in-chief’s planned visit arrived following Washington’s condemnation of Israeli plans to construct nearly 4,000 settlement housing units in the West Bank.
On Friday, Israel’s Civil Administration announced that it plans to advance the construction of thousands of new settlement homes in the West Bank despite warnings from the US that the initiative undermines the possibility of Palestinian statehood.
Last week, US State Department deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter denounced the move, which she said “deeply damages the prospects for a two-state solution.”
“We strongly oppose the expansion of settlements which exacerbates tensions and undermines trust between the parties,” she said.
Let him go ONLY there! He’s their man as it is! In fact he can take Hussein along and let things fall where they may. Hopefully the Israelis don’t even acknowledge him.
Wishful thinking!
“President” “Biden’s” upcoming trip to Israel – DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH. Actors need to follow a script and no way will they go to Israel nor anywhere else.
“President” “Biden” is as authentic as the Coroney Baloney / Covid Hoax.

Why won’t this old white smelly sack of beans condemn the violence his goons are perpetrating against the innocent families of the supreme court justices?
These stupid American intelligentsia have no clue what they’re talking about. Their ignorance and stupidity is incredible.
How so?
Nobody needs him there… or here
In between feedings and diaper changes, he may make it to Jerusalem. Once there, he is bound by his mental health and his own precedent to say something outrageously stupid, or totally irrelevant.
Go Brandon!
