Yair Lapid becomes Israeli prime minister with congratulations from Biden

Lapid, who will serve as interim premier until Nov. 1 elections, is more of a centrist than his predecessor Naftali Bennett.

The visit will come shortly after Trump meets with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on May 3 in Washington, D.C.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a skeptic of assistance to Israel who also is considering a 2016 presidential run, will travel to Israel.
