Bennett thanks Pelosi for ‘continued support of Israel,’ including Iron Dome funding

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in Jerusalem and thanks her for her longtime support of the State of Israel.

“I would like to thank you personally for your continued support of Israel,” Bennett says. “Israel is a wonderful country with great people in a complex area. You supported Israel and your late father supported the Jews in our most difficult time in history, during the Holocaust, when support for Jews was not taken for granted. Thank you for everything.”

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the pair also discuss “the central strategic challenges facing Israel, most prominently the Iranian nuclear program.”

Bennett also thanks Pelosi for supporting US funding for the Iron Dome “and stressed the importance of completing the process as soon as possible.”
