Biden snubs Netanyahu with no White House invite in near future.

President Biden stated that he will not invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House "in the near term" due to concerns over Israel's judicial overhaul plan. This is the first time Biden has spoken about the issue on camera. Netanyahu suspended the legislation on Monday after months of protests and calls from allies, including the U.S., to build a broad consensus around the plan.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides said the U.S. welcomes Netanyahu's decision to suspend the legislation but added that no date was set for a White House visit.
