Joe Biden has postponed a trip to Colorado and will remain in Washington, D.C., to monitor and get up-to-the-minute developments on the war in Israel. The White House initially reported that the president would attend CS Wind, the largest wind tower manufacturing plant in the world located in the city of Pueblo, Colo.
A government official confirmed the news to Fox News, claiming that the trip "will be rescheduled" and that Biden "will remain at the White House to participate in national security meetings."
The decision was made after rumors began to surface about a possible Biden trip to Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, invited the president to visit Israel on Tuesday.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has just returned to Israel after visiting several of its neighbors in the Middle East.
In an interview, Biden warned that a military intervention on the ground in Gaza would be "a serious mistake" given the potential consequences of this type of operation.
