There was no immediate comment from Bennett, whose Yamina party now holds just five of the parliament's 120 seats.

The trip announced by Bennett's office comes with Israel making a renewed diplomatic push against international talks which global powers resumed with its arch foe Iran over the Islamic republic's nuclear programme.

In his first state visit since taking office in June, Naftali Bennett will meet Joe Biden on Thursday and attempt to mend ties.

Representatives of the Palestinians have reacted dismissively to the new government.
