Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has highlighted the attack as the “American administration’s responsibility.”
The meeting is expected to take place in a secure video conference call, according to senior Israeli and American officials.
Israel and the US should have, together, embraced the second part of the Security Council’s resolution and demanded the immediate release of the hostages as a prerequisite for the ceasefire.
Netanyahu could have done things differently, but not all the tensions in the US-Israel relationship can be dumped on the prime minister's doorstep.
The delegation was set to discuss with US officials the alternative plans for a massive military operation in Rafah and to discuss the hostage deal negotiations.
Prime Minister Netanyahu criticizes the US over the UN resolution, amplifying tensions in the fight against Hamas.
Netanyahu's decision to cancel his US trip over a nonbinding resolution suggests a missed opportunity for Israel to engage in constructive dialogue and sway opinions.
