New Officials Reaffirm U.S., Israel Ties
(U.S. State Department) Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said Sunday before meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: "We want the same things. We sometimes disagree about how to achieve them. Israel has some serious reservations about the Iran nuclear deal that is being put together in Vienna. We believe the way to discuss those disagreements is through direct and professional conversation." Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: "As the closest of friends do, we will have occasional differences. We have the same objectives; sometimes we differ on the tactics....But the foundation is a deep, enduring, abiding commitment on the part of the United States to Israel's security and a commitment that President Biden brought with him to office."
