Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is set to visit Washington next month, according to several Israeli news reports.

The PM will travel to the United States in mid-August for a meeting with US President Joe Biden, The Jerusalem Post said quoting Channel 12 news.

“Bennett will speak to US President Joe Biden on issues pertaining to Iran, more specifically on Ebrahim Raisi,” who will take office in early August, it said.

A diplomatic source with knowledge of the matter told The Times of Israel that Bennett is considering holding the trip on a weekend to avoid missing crucial parliamentary votes back at home while he’s unable to attend.

The trip would be the first meeting between Bennett and Biden and the premier’s first public international trip since taking office last month, it added.

A fire at a vegetable market in China's northern province of Hebei killed eight people and wounded 15, state television CCTV said on Saturday.
Authorities were investigating the cause of the fire in the city of Zhangjiakou, which was doused just over an hour after it broke out at about 8:40 a.m., the broadcaster added.
Huge dark billows of smoke hung over the market in the city's Qiaoxi district, videos posted by other media on China's Weibo microblogging site showed, along with large flames.
Identified as the Liguang vegetable market in some media, it opened in 2011 and sells items ranging from fruit and seafood to electronics, company data provider Qichacha said.
