YERUSHALAYIM – Months of uncertainty over U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel appeared to end on Sunday with a report that he will be making the trip between July 13-15.

Biden’s itinerary will include the Palestinian Authority (PA), as well, according to officials with knowledge of talks between Yerushalayim and Washington, reported by Ynet on Sunday.

Whether the president will also go to Riyadh to meet with Saudi leaders remains undecided.

Biden is expected to arrive at Ben Gurion Airport on the night of July 13 or the next morning, where he will be received by Israel’s senior officials and statements will be made to the press.

In Biden’s first visit to Israel since entering the White House, he is scheduled to pay his respects at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Yerushalayim.

The last swing of the trip will be to Ramallah for talks and ceremonials with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and other officials.
