Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer is reportedly set to meet with senior US officials in Washington this week — the first meeting between a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government and the Biden administration.
According to Axios, Dermer — a former Israeli ambassador to the US and close Netanyahu confidant — is expected to discuss a range of issues in his meetings, including Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the expansion of the Abraham Accords.
While Eli Cohen is officially foreign minister, Dermer is expected to serve as Netanyahu’s point-man on the US-Israel relationship.
