Israel agrees to reschedule delegation visit to the White House: US official

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to reschedule his delegation's visit to the White House after he canceled the trip on Monday, according to a U.S. official.

"The Prime Minister's office has agreed to reschedule the meeting dedicated to Rafah. We are now working to find a convenient date," the official told ABC News.

The decision to reschedule comes after several members of President Joe Biden's Cabinet held "constructive discussions" with Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over the last two days in Washington, D.C., the official said.
