WASHINGTON, Jan 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, is planning a trip to Israel this month after the formation of a new government topped by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a White House official said on Monday. The meetings in Israel will come as Netanyahu's new alliance with ultra-nationalists has worried White House officials about the prospects for worsening Israel's relations with Palestinians. On Monday, Israeli forces killed two Palestinian militants during clashes near the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian sources said. Biden is also working to find common ground with the new Israeli government on an approach to stalled Iranian nuclear talks and has been re-evaluating Washington's alliance with Saudi Arabia. Dates for Sullivan's meetings have not been set yet, said the administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The White House on Monday criticized Beijing's zero Covid strategy as ineffective and said the Chinese people have a right to peacefully protest. "We've said that zero COVID is not a policy we pursuing here in the United States," the NSC spokesperson said. Vaccination rates among the elderly, one of the groups most vulnerable to Covid, are low in China compared to other countries. Dr. Ashish Jha, head of the White House Covid task force, said China should focus on making sure the elderly get vaccinated. Lockdowns and zero COVID is going to be very difficult to sustain," Jha told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
