Biden to Host Israel’s Herzog

By Leave a Comment

“President Biden is scheduled to host Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House on Tuesday, a high-profile meeting with the country’s ceremonial head that comes amid tensions between Biden and the leader of Israel’s ruling coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” the Washington Post reports.

“It is the second visit to the White House in the past nine months for Herzog, whose position is mostly symbolic but whose approach and tone are often more moderate than Netanyahu and the hard-line elements of the Israeli parliament. Netanyahu, although he is the elected leader of the country’s government, has not met with Biden since the Israeli leader took office again in December.”

From our partner: Propaganda Posters

Before Tweets, There Were Posters

If you follow politics closely, you know some of the most powerful ideas in history weren’t just argued — they were designed, printed, and plastered on walls.

That’s why I recommend Propaganda Posters, a site that curates and sells some of the most iconic political posters from history. The prints are high quality, richly detailed, and full of bold, vivid color — the kind that immediately draws your eye and holds it.

I’ve been genuinely impressed with how good these posters look in person. They feel substantial, display beautifully, and turn political history into real, conversation-starting art.

If you’re a Political Wire reader who appreciates the power of political messaging, this is a collection worth seeing.
