The livestream, hosted by the Prime Minister's Office, wrapped up the first day of Biden's 10th visit to Israel.
Views peaked at 15 million on main TV channels in the US. Interest in Europe was more moderate, with some 5 million views of the livestream. Tens of thousands of views were recorded from the Gulf states, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
In Israel, the PMO set up a dedicated mini-site devoted to the presidential visit that attracted over 60,000 views live, from both Israel and neighboring states: Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, and even one view from Iran.
The PMO also put the livestream up on dozens of official Facebook pages, including that of the prime minister, President Isaac Herzog, the Defense Ministry, and other government entities.
The livestream covered Biden's arrival at Ben-Gurion International Airport, the president's introduction to Israel's multi-level defense technologies, and his visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem.
The PMO will continue its live coverage of Biden's visit on Thursday.
