Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett highlighted the success of his recent talks with Joe Biden in Washington. Talking to reporters at the Washington airport on Sunday, Bennett said he’s achieved and surpassed all goals that had been set for his meeting with Biden.
The Prime Minister highlighted progress in U.S.-Israeli discussions of Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. visa waivers for Israeli citizens. The two met at the White House on Friday after a short delay due to a deadly terror attack on U.S. troops in Kabul.
Bennett also said Biden agreed to increase U.S. contributions to Israeli security.
“Biden and I formed a direct and personal connection, a connection based on trust,” said Bennett. “We achieved all the objectives for the trip and even beyond that. We agreed with the Americans on a joint strategic effort to halt the Iranian nuclear race. We have taken a significant step in equipping and building Israeli power.”
