Israeli prime minister facing criticism at home for snubbing White House over security council abstention
Middle East crisis – live updates
The White House says it is working to rearrange a visit by an Israeli delegation to Washington that was abruptly cancelled by Benjamin Netanyahu after the US decision not to veto a UN security council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, confirmed reports that the Israeli prime minister had climbed down over the visit and agreed to reschedule it. “We’re now working with them to find a convenient date that’s obviously going to work for both sides,” she said.
