United States President Joe Biden has landed in Israel on a solidarity visit as the Jewish nation continues its ongoing war against Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally welcomed Biden on the tarmac at the Ben Gurion International Airport.

Under unusually tight security, Biden and Netanyahu chatted briefly before their motorcades set off for a hotel where they will hold talks.

Hundreds of armed police and troops were stationed around the seafront Tel Aviv hotel where Netanyahu and Biden will meet, with armed snipers on the roofs of nearby villas.
