U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday will host Jordan's King Abdullah, a key U.S. ally in a volatile region, in what will be the first of three face-to-face meetings with leaders from the Middle East expected soon.
Abdullah, who faced down a challenge to his authority in April from his half-brother, Prince Hamza, will have his first Oval Office talks with Biden since the U.S. president took power in January.
Abdullah plays a unique role in the Middle East, seen by U.S. officials as a moderate and pragmatic leader who can play a mediating role. A senior Biden administration official said the president's talks with the king are expected to include the way forward for Israel and the Palestinians with Bennett having recently replaced Benjamin Netanyahu as Israeli prime minister.Tensions remain high in the wake of the 11-day war in May between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.
"We have great confidence in the king's leadership, and I think the visit over the course of the coming days will just reaffirm that confidence," a senior Biden administration official said.
