Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with former US vice president Mike Pence, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.
“The two discussed the nuclear deal and its implications, as well as the situation in Ukraine,” according to the statement.
The majors powers involved in the talks surrounding a revived nuclear deal with Iran have said that an agreement is close. Pence has been a vocal critic in the past of any deal with Tehran.
Pence is on a three-day visit to Israel where he is meeting with officials.
The former VP is widely thought to be laying the groundwork ahead of seeking the Republican Party nomination for the 2024 election.
