In light of his snub from Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday evening that he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Netanyahu revealed that he had been invited to Beijing in a meeting with members of the U.S. Congress, according to the Hebrew news site Ynet. No date has been set for the visit. 

The prime minister's office said in a letter of clarification: "The planned visit will be the fourth visit by Prime Minister Netanyahu to China, and the U.S. administration was informed of this a month ago."

Despite several high-level visits between Israeli and American officials, U.S. President Joe Biden is yet to invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.
