individual could corroborate parts of hutchinson s testimony. this is both historic visit and deeply personal one. they will both commit to never allowing iran to ever get nuclear weapons. inflation soaring to 9.1%. i get paid tomorrow and already my whole paycheck is spoken for. europe is once again facing a dangerous heatwave. these heatwaves are staying for quite some time. it is thursday, july 14th, 11:00 a.m. in jetta and in israel where job is expected to meet this hour with the israeli prime minister yair lapid. u.s. officials say mr. biden will stress the state to state relationship with israel and not focus on the importance of any one person deal. the leaders are also expected to sign a statement vowing to never let iran obtain a nuclear weapon. the more controversial leg of mr. biden s trip comes saturday when he will meet here with saudi leaders in jetta. the u.s. president had promised to make the kingdom is pariah for its role in the murder of the
means by which they can eventually come to accommodation with the palestinians s down th road. let s get you live to elliott g gotkine. is it clear exactly what it is that president biden hopes to take away from this trip? reporter: i think expectations have not really been overdone when it comes to this trip. it is an opportunity as president biden has said to meet are allies, show the u.s. support for israel security. to that end we saw him receiving a briefing to the missile defense systems and the new iron beam yesterday. it is an opportunity to help try to further abraham accords and israel s integration if to the
prospect of that two state solution. and indeed in that interview president biden talked about how by helping integrate israel further into the region, as a result building on those abraham accords, that at some point down the road that could help in leading to some kind of solution, some kind of two state solution between israel and the palestinians. but i don t think that anyone is under any illusions what is going to be possible as a result of this trip. not least of course because we ve got a new prime minister in israel, we ve got new elections more elections coming up in november, and it is very hard to even hold out the hope of further discussions let alone successful discussions if you don t even know who is going to be sitting at the table or what views they will hold. elliott gotkine in jerusalem for the first part of this middle east trip by the u.s. president. elliott, thank you. mr. biden will meet with mahmoud
